My escort arrived right on time this morning with a fresh, hot cup of coffee for me. He did GOOD!! Off we went right at sunrise.
Stopped at a rest area because my trailer lights quit working. Fixed that problem but found another. Had an air leak from what looks like a pop off valve. Wasn't causing a problem as my compressor could keep up with it.
Continued on up to the Petro truck stop in Kenly, NC to get it fixed. I checked it again and somehow it fixed itself. Must have hit a bump or something. Whatever happened, it worked. We continued on. Had to wait at the bridge over the river on I-295 (Richmond By-pass) for the State Police. Had to shut down the interstate so that when I went over the bridge there were no other vehicles on it with me. That didn't sit very well with all those that had to wait for me to cross the bridge. Oh well.
Unbelievably we made it all the way up to I-495 almost to I-66 before we hit bumper to bumper traffic. Fortunately there wasn't much of it. That too, is amazing!! Picked up my front escort along I-66, now I have two. Went the rest of the way in to Chantilly, VA to where I am delivering tomorrow morning. They showed me where to park for the night. Got stuff ready for the morning so I can (hopefully) get out of here quick.
