Well, What a Day Yesterday!

Picked up the load from Kansas CIty, then we stopped for a short nap at the Petro in Kingdom City,MO...when we woke up our Fleet Manager asked us to pick up a different load (Meat) and leave the other one where we picked up the new one..

Well that was ok, so we picked the new load up at Tyson and proceeded
east to Virginia... now the fun part.

Petra went into the Missouri Scales at Forristel,MO on I-70 EB, well things were going ok till the red light came on and then that dreaded voice on the intercom

Driver, Pull around back, bring in all you paperwork,CDL's,Bills,Permits,Logbooks

Uh Oh, well turned out we didnt know it but the inside right rear trailer tire blew a sidewall out, the sidewall was facing inwards, i had checked the tire before we left Tyson and it was ok, so anyway we were shutdown for 5 hours waiting on the T/A Road Service to come replace the trailer tire...Petra was upset, it was her first trip around back, Tried to Calm her, and she is ok now.

Today we lost our A/C, man oh man it was hot, so stopped into the T/A in Knoxville (369 Exit) and had the compressor fixed as it was leaking, so we ate at Perkins, Did laundry, and Showered, now the A/C works well, going to see how it does in the day tomorrow..

Currently we are on I81 Near Bristol,TN going into our first stop early and get some rest, then off to eastern,va to deliver the rest

Ok thats all for now, also remember my AOLIM radaremtjcw
