    Hate going there. Had to scan some paperwork and use the mensroom or I would have parked on the street where Ralph's used to be

    Freightliner North Las Vegas


    Denver thought they fixed the problem, but then so did Phoenix. Start heading down 70, and its back with a vengence. Parked at Beaver UT for the night and headed down 15 this morning. Air compressor had to kick on about every 1.5 minutes. At that point i had no choice but too put it back in a shop. Fueled at petro. 2ndary tank was empty by the time i fueled up.

    Petros shop said they couldn't fix it, so off too the dealer i go. Bonus, if this takes all night im im going home. (There is no way might have planned that,, i swear, really) ;)

    Primary was holding pressure fine, just the secondary being the problem.

    When i left Edwardsville terminal yesterday at 10 to miss.morning traffic.
    Got on 29 north a d at about mm18 saw a couple troopers with lights on coming up behind me. Not a good sign.
    Came around a corner as they went by me and freeway came to a sudden stop. Was able to get in left lane to give me more room to stop.
    Drivers were saying a flatbed jackknifed at some bridge. Had only 3 hrs to drive to go 160 miles.
    Trooper was pushing everyone off ex 19 and as I got off I decided to sit on on
    ramp to it cleared.
    As I got on the onramp saw the traffic started to move so continued on.
    Made it to the loves in Syracuse ne with 10 minutes left.
