    I did. We dropped it about 3am. The Detroit shop was closed so he came back for the truck and me at 7:30 and took us both to the shop. The trailer was already repowered.

    Richmond is the main terminal where all the dysfunction takes place. Wytheville is another that mainly takes care of Gatorade. Then West Memphis is the third one where we do quite a bit of dropping and swapping. We just opened one in Savannah Ga and SC off of 85.

    Reached a trucking milestone today. Had my very first trailer tire blowout.

    I remember asking Shirley, my trainer, how you would know if you blew a tire. I was worried that I might have my music playing loud and not notice.

    She said "Don't worry, you'll know."

    She was right.
