It was about 3 PM I was headed west and I blew a turbo right in the middle of that construction. I was able to inch along for about a mile, but finally, the computer shut the engine down. It took a large wrecker and a father and son both came out and got my tractor on the wrecker the son took me to Dallas and the father got in a pickup and left. I had traffic stopped for over an hour. I was speaking to a Trooper as the men were getting the truck up on the hook. The Trooper was nice, I told him I was sorry about the trouble. He just said something about Murphy's Law. I then asked him how far was the backup. He just said driver it's 4 PM in the afternoon on a busy interstate highway you have had traffic stopped for an hour! How far do you think traffic is backed up?[/QUOTE]
