 I got my truck back this morning.  My next load is Monday morning at the Port in Baltimore.  For now, I'll settle in for the weekend and some more great SEC football!!!!

 Not starting off October very well.  That Daily Truck Shop finished with my truck yesterday afternoon.  This morning I took the truck over to Kenworth for some more work to be done.  Then checked into the hotel.  I have no idea how long I'll be there.

 I left at about 3 AM EDT and drove the rest of the way to Mount Joy, PA and delivered the generator.  My truck was due for some routine maintenance, and I needed to replace a worn trailer tire, so I went to the "home office" in Carlisle, PA.  I have no idea how long I'll be there.

I left at 2:30 AM EDT.  Drove 483 miles to the TA truck stop in Brookville, Pennsylvania.  There is starting to be some autumn color in the trees in northern Wisconsin and northern Pennsylvania.

 I left at about 4:30 AM CDT and drove the rest of the way up to Weston, Wisconsin and delivered the excavator.  From there, I drove down to Lafayette, Indiana, and loaded a Caterpillar 3516E Generator that is going to Mount Joy, Pennsylvania.

After loading, I stayed there for the night.  535 miles today.

 I left a half hour after sunrise this morning.  Heavy traffic and some B2B traffic in Atlanta.  Another busy morning at the Atlanta airport.  Had 2 planes land over my head, then drove under one that was on the taxiway that goes over the Interstate.  That is so cool when that happens.  No problems in Nashville.  Drove 535 miles to the TA truck stop in Mt. Vernon, Illinois, for the night.  To top off a good day, I stuffed myself silly at the Chili's restaurant across the street from the truck stop tonight.  I'll sleep good tonight!!!

 This morning I went to the Port in Brunswick, Georgia  and loaded a Caterpillar 320 Excavator that is going to Weston, Wisconsin.

I left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Jackson, Georgia, for the night.  I stopped a bit early because there was a several-mile traffic backup in McDonough, GA that I didn't want to deal with today.

 The crane was due to arrive at the job site at 9 AM.  When I got there at 8:30, I had to back in off the road.  

Then the other truck arrived with the generator that will eventually sit on top of the tank I brought.  I moved out of his way so he could park where I was.  I parallel parked off to the side.  Then the crane arrived.  I again moved out of its way so he and the support truck could get in.  I jacked my truck into a small area just big enough to squeeze into.

Once the crane was set up, I backed in next to the crane, and they unloaded me.

From there, I drove to the Daily terminal in Jacksonville.  Settled in for the rest of the day, watching some great SEC football.

I drove the rest of the way to Macon, Georgia, and delivered the excavator.  From there, I drove up to Griffin, GA, and loaded a generator fuel tank that is going to Gainesville, Florida.

I left there and drove to the Pilot truck stop in Tifton, Georgia, for the night.

 The terminal manager in Jacksonville said that he had a new driver bringing a Caterpillar 140 motor grader to the yard.  He asked me to help unload it when it got here, as the new driver didn't know how to operate it.  When he arrived, I saw that it was a used, older model.  I unloaded it for him, and since it was not a brand-new machine, I used the motor grader to smooth out our parking lot a bit before parking it.  Then I drove my truck up to the Port in Brunswick, Georgia, and loaded a Caterpillar 323 Excavator that is going to Macon, Georgia.

Check out this weight.  It doesn't get any better than this!!!!'

I left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Register, GA, for the night.

 I left at Midnight CDT and drove the rest of the way to Riverview, Florida.  The traffic in Riverview was horrendous!!!  After delivering, it took over an hour to drive the 9 miles back to I-75.  I could not live like that!!!!  When I finally made it out of there, I drove to the Jacksonville terminal.  My trailer is due for routine maintenance.

 I left at 11:30 PM CDT.  Had no traffic issues through Houston, Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, or Mobile.  Drove 686 miles to the TA truck stop in Mariana, Florida, for my 10 hours.

Monday, September 14, 2026

 

I delivered the motor grader first thing this morning.  Drove to Elgin, Texas, and loaded a concrete pump that is going to Riverview, Florida.

I left there and drove to the Love's truck stop in Waller, Texas.  I didn't feel like driving through Houston in the daylight; too much traffic!!.  I'll go in 10 hours, at night.

OK, they destroyed the marshmallow teams.  Next week is the REAL test when they go to Auburn to start playing the SEC teams.

 This should be another cakewalk today.  Just hope their defense improves.

I left at about 4 AM CDT.  In Dallas, they had I-635 shut down to work on one of the overpasses.  5 lanes to 1 and exit.  Then they dumped everyone off but had no signs to direct the traffic.  Had to figure it out by yourself on how to get back to I-635.  The whole mess took an hour.  After I got through that, I drove to where I deliver on Monday.  Parked outside the gate for the rest of the weekend.

Now it is time to settle in for some great SEC football!!!!
