Finished driving the rest of the way in to Baltimore.  Relaxing drive, traffic was very light.  Stopped at the TA truck stop until Monday.  Deliver a couple miles from here.

Early this morning drove in to Massillion, OH and loaded a big box.  Was first one there.  I'm not really sure what the thing is but it is going to Baltimore, MD and then on a boat to Saudi Arabia.

Good day on the road.  Drove to the Pilot truck stop in Haggerstown, MD for the night.

My truck is all better now!!   Here is the culprit, the input shaft in the transmission.  I put a Mt Dew can next to it as a size reference.

My next load is in Massillon, Ohio and loads Friday morning.  Drove over to the TA truck stop in North Canton, Ohio to sit until then.  So nice to be back in my truck!!!!!

Daily sent a company truck over here with my trailer.  We swapped trailers and he took my load on to it's destination because it needed to get there.  Other than that, not much news on my truck yet.  Got the  estimate, $2700 so far.  Don't know when it will be ready.

Went over and loaded a load inverter first thing this morning in Lancaster, PA.

Loaded and tarped real fast and was out of there and on the road in great time.  Everything was going great until I got on I-80.  At mile marker 71.2 something let loose in the transmission.  I had no clutch and could not move.  Coasted it off to the shoulder of the road and waited for the wrecker to arrive.  Of course it was raining.  

The wrecker arrived and hooked up a chain and pulled me off the interstate to the next exit where there was a large parking lot.  Much safer there to hook up to tow.  

And off we went.

Fortunately there was a Mack dealer in Shippenville, PA that could look at it today.  Had it towed there.  From there they drove me to a hotel for the night.
