    Hopefully you never have to go through what I went through it’s a really pain to deal with to maintain a cdl

    On a load from Seattle to Mira Loma CA. Resetting at the Seven Feathers I5 exit 99. Probably won’t take the shuttle over to the Casino even for the buffet, but it still beats the heck out of Love’s.

    7 Feathers Truck & Travel Center
    130 Creekside Rd, Canyonville, OR 97417

    I always walked to the casino but I could never find where to get a beer at in there. They must have been hiding it from me.
    But the truckstop had bottles of a chocolaty coffee beer that I think had peat in it. Ah peat.

    I took a tour at the Star Hill brewery in Crozet VA last summer. They had some sort of mocha expresso beer that was actually pretty good.

    Sunday morning couldn’t get trailer breaks off. Checked for an air leak didn’t find one. Checked to see if maybe somebody had left me a quarter between my glad hands and didn’t find one. Called breakdown and talked to Bruce who naturally assumed I was an idiot but grudgingly said he’d send somebody. At that point I tried pushing against them in reverse and heard them let go.
    Great.
    Sent a message canceling the service call and followed up with a phone call.
    Fast forward to this morning, wake up to a flat tire on the trailer. Send in a message to breakdown. An hour and two minutes later I get a reply “ok”. I wait a few minutes and having a bad feeling, ask “ok you’re sending someone?”. Next message is “why would we send someone, in your qcom message it says cancel your road call.” I won’t deny being an idiot, but apparently I’m not alone.
