    My drop is at 1130 on Monday. I didn't actually pick the load, in fact it's still in transit to my location. (Needless to say it's gonna be late, it's 650 miles from here to Plover, and it's 1430 now.) It's a team that is bringing the potato load to me for repower, and they are taking the load I am currently hooked up to, a frozen food load from McCain in WA, out to PA.

    Before I broke down this time, I started out way back on April 13 with a load of beer from Rochester, NY that was to go to Renton, WA... well I made it all the way to Bismarck and my truck took a dump. So far there have been 2 drivers that dropped loads and repowered mine while I've been sitting, and I'm waiting on the 3rd.

    Why does it seem that when trucks these days breakdown it takes 8+ hours to get a tow? That seems ridiculous.
