    Unfortunately, a lot of breakdowns this week. You should have stopped at the London Travel Plaza and had a plate of their meatloaf. All would have been right with the world.

    Seriously though, very sorry you had to go through that mess.
     
    Dave_in_AZ Thanks this.

    I wish I could but I busted coolant hose and I was dead in the water right there. Screwed up my delivery last night, but I was able to reschedule for tonight and got a backhaul tomorrow. Day late, but that’s trucking. Gotta love/hate it

    Broke down exactly there in Franklin, Ky. Fortunately, there was a dealer in Bowling Green, but the wrecker and I didn't get there until 2:30 am. That idiot was going 75 dragging my whole rig loaded.
