Up at 5:30 and headed to Atlanta.    They said they had five trucks waiting on loads to Florida so we may be there for a bit. Also, we are going to get an inverter put in the truck so we can plug in appliances.

Got the inverter put in and also had them set the governor on the truck a bit higher.   The truck was set to go a max speed of 61 mph, which means little old ladies were passing us on the highway.    We got really great fuel mileage but sometimes you need to speed up to get around someone (usually someone else who is governed) and you dont have the speed.   We can now go a max speed of 70!!   So thats all settled.

We were told we may not get a trip out of atlanta until tomorrow because 5 other people were waiting on loads to florida.   Good weekend to take off I guess.   Finally at about 4:30 they told us they had a load for us but we had to go to North Carolina and pick it up and take it to Miami on Sunday.    Thats going to run us a day late but at least its in the right direction.

We didnt get too far from Atlanta before the time ran out but we only had a couple of hours to go in the morning to get to our stop.     We have stopped at a TA for the night just north of Athens, Georgia.

I was able to get my pictures uploaded tonight.   They are of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi.

 DG:  Yes it’s good to have a little extra speed when you need it. Now I have to be careful not to keep my foot to the floor in order to keep the fuel expenses at a reasonable level.

Deadheading to Bessemer City, NC to pick up a load with two stops. One in Pompano Beach, the other in Miami. It’s a good trip for a weekend. 

Well, hope you all have a wonderful Independence Day. Be sure to give some thought to the real meaning of the day. And thank God for working this all out so we can live in a land of liberty. 

Love to all. Good night and God bless.
