    Got empty then got out to US13 and a white freightliner pulling a tank decided to try a U-turn where he shouldn’t have and caused a mess. Grain hauler doing a evasive maneuver damaged the back corner of his hopper and a power company bucket truck wasn’t so lucky and hit the tractor and flipped over blocking the whole north bound side. Needless to say I wasn’t able to make it to the flying j near the ikea warehouse due to having to take a long detour so Im parked in the rest area off 301 instead. Didn’t notice my cb antenna adapter where it screws into the bracket vibrated loose so I lost my good antenna in DE on US13….

    You’ve been around this circus too long. You don’t need to wake up to start your day stressed because of dysfunction in operations. Hope you make that change.

    Welp, in exciting personal news, it seems that I am passing a kidney stone. There are other possibilities to explain my current situation, but the doctor feels that's the most likely explanation.

    I would not wish this on my worst enemy, but it's even worse when you're stuck in a truck. I'm pitched up at the Swift Yard in Memphis, with plans for returning to the urgent care clinic as soon as they open here in a few hours.

    Yikes! After 3 rounds with kidney stones, I can sympathize with you. 2nd round, I drove from Byhalia MS back home. Longest dang ride. Being sick in the truck is a different experience for sure. Hope you’ve got some good meds to help with the flow and the pain and that you feel better soon.
