    Made it through the Watermelon 500 in Atlanta today...

    At the TA in Cartersville. I'll have to take a picture of the o/s load here -- looks like large Cat Motors -- pretty sure it's a 10 axle at least.

    Gerdau tomorrow at 2pm and then Willmar MN by Friday.

    Plymouth Indiana at the old KMart. Grabbed a haircut and..... IMG_2822.JPG
    Deliver to FT Wayne in the morning. Managed to get the truck washed today.

    Bardge parts out of CHI. Rate con says 10 am load. Show up at 9:15. Crane is not even on site yet. Got darn near %50 more on the rate by the time I got out of there.

    I'm blind as a bat. It's nowhere near a 10-axle load... still much larger and heavier than anything I'd wish to haul!

    To be clear, the oversize you're parked near isn't me. Currently on I-40 in TN exit 143. Had the buffet at Loretta Lynn's joint. I recommend the catfish.

    10-4 driver!

    I'm not looking forward to Gerdau at 2pm... always takes those poor guys 3 hours to load us in Cartersville... they need to take a page out of the Fort Smith playbook. Where you headed with the Gerdau load?
     
    SAR, Peelsession and 1951 ford Thank this.

    I hear ya. I was just there last week for the first time in months. Loading went pretty smooth once they got me in there. It was Saturday morning though and not a lot of trucks.

    Probably headed to Omaha. I say "probably" because I haven't bothered to ask dispatch where I'm going. I like the surprise I get on the computer once I get unloaded lol! But Omaha is the usual destination.
