    Load out of Kraft Caves yesterday morning, delivering in Temple, TX WalMart DC this evening. Two driving days to get 550 miles... So we are sitting in Anna, TX wondering where we will park after delivering tonight... then praying for something good the next two days to finish out our week. Need to get the wife home by this Friday.

    Nope... was thru there around midnight. I didn't even know about the Wal-Mart down there in Williamsburg, when I got the pre-plan I thought I was going to Budweiser.

    I did, but never heard of any Prime trucks going in and out of there. There is a Interstate wharehouse between Bad News and the Burg too. My ex roomate worked there... But I have yet to be sent there.

    Done the Army exchange wharehouse there. Candy load with a $400 limpet fee.

    Guess I'm just happy to be here. Had my right rear drive wheel disassembled to fix a wheel seal leak in Lodi at the TA there. Those numbnuts didn't have a big enough socket to get the axle nut off... so RA decided that they'd just as soon have me go down the road to get it done. So numbnuts puts it back together. I don't drive like a Prime bat out of heck most of the time, took the short cut down US42, and stopped in London - instead of going on to Springfield. All good decisions at it turns out...

    Get to London OH, and get in line at the TA for the wheel seal fix this evening. So I'm talking to the mechanic afterward, and he's biotchin' about missing parts and buggered-up torque nuts. Turns out the numbnuts in Lodi didn't put back in quite a bit of brake hardware, the clips holding the torque nut in place (that holds the whole #### wheel assembly on the axle) were crushed and the torque nut was in the process of backing off of the axle. In short, the wheel assembly almost came off the axle.

    Showed the shop manager in London the paperwork... the mechanic in Lodi is "getting written-up" - at least that's what they said in TA-speak.

    Guess I'm just glad to be here.

    Yeah, there were 3 empty Prime's at the Wal Mart in Williamsburg. It's a fairly large warehouse, mainly import stuff coming in off of containers. The Interstate Warehouse is off of Ft. Eustis in NN, been there one time.

    Sitting at a truck stop in Grand Rapids, MI right now waiting on a load.
