    Got a load assignment this morning arond 8:30. Pick up an empty at the Wytheville yard, get a live load in Lynchburg, and deliver it to Wilmington, DE tomorrow morning. No problem.

    Hook up to the trailer. Do my pre-trip trailer inspection. Thump the tires. Driver's side front tandem, outside tire is flat. Has a nail in it. Truck also has the passenger side marker light pressed into the trailer such that it isn't visible. Problem.

    Call Breakdown, they get me set up with a visit to the shop at the Flying J off exit 80 to get both of these things taken care of.

    Sat for nearly two hours before they had a bay open up. Pulled into the bay half an hour ago. They've fixed the marker light but they haven't even started on the tire.

    I'll still make the delivery on time tomorrow, it'll just be a lot more annoying to get there.

    Make sure your trl doesn't have any holes in the roof. Picking up at same place and had hole so had to go get fixed. ALWAYS SOMETHING WHEN I'M TRYING TO GET HOME.

    Anyone know how to actually get the $50 cash advance?

    I've seen them offer it when fueling but I'm not sure how to access it other then that. I got the efs app and i called the number but I don't get how I actually get the money if I need it. It's probably something super simple and obvious, lol.
