Where Are You Continues, Again.....

No that job was a serious mistake on my part.

 

Shelbyville Tn, loading in the morning for OKC

 

And the "fun" was not over yet... Today was another sucky day...
Was on my merry way and this happened...





Outside tire blew out and sucked the mudflap in and bent the hanger....
I saw smokes coming out so immediately pulled over to the narrow shoulder... set my triangles and called my company shop... Then, I found a TA nearby and asked the shop to call them and request roadside...



Roadside came and escorted me to a nearby parking lot for repairs...
Replaced the bad tire, cut off the hanger that was bent beyond repair...



And then I followed repair guy to TA for a new hanger and new mudflap...
This one will have to be fixed at my company shop this week...


After that "fun"... I encountered "endless" heavy traffic almost for the whole trip...
Then, got to Dallas... And took the wrong highway.... which took me much more extra time...
Traffic was going 18 mph.... and my clock was ticking.... minutes vanishing... I was no longer going to park where I had planned...
And did I say that traffic was INSANE...?
Wasted time to get back to my route... going thru heavy traffic at 10 mph... and minutes disappearing... a test on my nerves...
I thought would not have enough time to get to the closest truck stop... But once I left the pretty heavy traffic, I pushed pedal to the metal and arrived at the ramp with 3 mins left... Had no option but turn my flashers on, ask the motoring public to go around me or whatever and showed post trip and proceeded to truck stop which was right there...
Was planning on going to FJ across the road... but ended up at this very small one... and found this spot right away... which is not that great... but it will not be difficult to leave at 4:30 am... So here I am...



Delivering tomorrow morning about 3:30 hrs north of here if no more delays... will be there whenever I get there...

 

I ate there one day last week. One my better decisions

A little fat on the back half of the wagon..
