    Home for weekend after rough Friday the 13th!

    Had perfect run all day then went back to terminal to drop and hook for Monday run and go home...Loaded trailer's landing gear was tough to raise, ended up breaking the bolt holding handle then stripping the gears...Mechanic showed up, no way to fix at the time, had to unload and reload on another trailer...Again gear wouldn't go up, he took out torch and held on gear box until it freed up, all good right, nope...5 miles down the road I get a message on dash, "marker circuit breaker"(or something similar)...I get out, no lights on trailer now...Turn on flashers, which worked, and drove the 5 miles back to terminal...I check all the fuses, find bad one, replace and within 10 seconds, it blows again...I call mechanic back up but he says no way until tomorrow morning so I sleep at terminal instead of going home...At 8am he shows up and wallah, finds frayed wire on trailer that would blow fuse every time it hit metal, quick fix, problem solved and home I went!!!!!...
