    Loaded up in Detroit. Took them 2 hours to figure out where they wanted the straps placed ($2M cost per machine) and then came the fun part of tarping it. Luckily I was inside a HUGE heated building and we did it with the overhead crane. I've not had to tarp a 11 wide load yet, so it was interesting. Luckily the machines are shrink wrapped and then they put plastic sheeting over them as well.
    Sitting at the Pilot in Georgetown, KY for the night. Hope to make it to about Lake City, FL tomorrow. But I'll be happy with Tifton, GA.

    Orrville OH. Loading in the AM, then heading north, maybe I'll get lucky again this week and miss the storms again.

    Missed this one. It was nasty in ND today I sure am glad I'm taking this frac tank to Texas. If you make it to Dickinson I always park at the comfort in and get a room seeings how I don't live there anymore.

    That's not a bad RPM at all. I got a 13spd and 3.55 and I'm at 1500rpm going 65mph.

    Owatonna, MN at the Kwik Trip. Have to run out to Benson in the morning. Looks like it might not be a fun drive.

    I will definitely let you kno.

    The first load I ever tarped was a 12 wide out of Boeing in Tulsa I just barely had enough tarp as the #### broker (not SPD) told me no tarp so I was sure surprised when I got there. The last load I ever tarped also went to Boeing but loaded in Cincinnati it was a legal tape machine. But that 12 wide as a first time was a ########## to figure out.

    I need to get to Madison, SD and Dickinson seems to be as good as I can get as far as direct customer loads. We shall see

    Hey Bob, if you would've ran the back way in to Orville you would've passed a guy who sells doughnuts out of a roach coach and they are top notch!

    Ron, try getting though Detroit in Altoona,Ia. 1 exit East of the Cat dealer there.
    ANY Detroit issues, and i find that the guys in Altoona can get it figured out. They have a dyno there, and book the dyno time to warranty too.
    I deal with Jack and Dee there, 2 great guys that aren't happy until you are.
