Picked up my load of PVC Pipe in Calvert City, KY.

Then got on the road heading for Butterfield, MN.  On the way through St. Louis, MO I passed this goofy thing.

Drove 710 mles and stopped for the weekend in Albert Lea, MN.

Went and got my trailer put back together this morning.  They did a very good job.  Then went up to Nashville, TN and delivered the trees.  Went and got fuel, food, and a shower.  Then drove up to Kuttawa, KY for the night.  I pick up my next load tomorrow morning in Calvert City, KY.  It is PVC pipe going to Butterfield, MN.

Went to Crescent City, FL and picked up my next load.  42 trees going to Nashville, TN

I left and headed for Nashville.  When I got up to the Cartersville, GA area on I-75 I had another driver tell me that my tail lights were not working.  I stopped at a TA truck stop to get them fixed.  While looking under the trailer we both saw that the rear plug for the lights was unplugged.  Also noticed that the line was real tight.  Continued to look around to see why the line was so tight all of a sudden and found that one of the cross members of the trailer had broken off and was hanging by the electrical line and the air lines to the trailer breaks.  That's not a good thing. They couldn't re-weld it there but told me about a place just down the road that could do it in the morning. Pushed it back up & zip tied it in place then plugged in the lights. I parked for the night there.
