Was at Kenworth first thing this morning.  It took a while to find the leak.  It was in the parking break sensor.  It was leaking like a sieve.  He had to take the entire gauge panel out to get to it.  It was quite an ordeal!! Also needed the drier replaced.  It was old and a mess.  Once all that was done I got on the road.  Drove tp the TA truck stop in Grand Bay (Mobile), Alabama for the night.

Had a little excitement in the truck stop last night.  A semi with a refrigerated trailer pulled up to the shop to have the refrigeration unit motor repaired.  While the mechanic was working on it, the fuel tank ruptured severely injuring the mechanic.  I heard the explosion.  He was transported to the hospital by ambulance with non-life threatening injuries.  Meanwhile, the rupture of the fuel tank caused a large diesel fuel leak prompting the response of the Haz-Mat unit from the Baytown Fire Department.  

Finally got another load.  Had to go over to the Daily yard in Houston and get a different trailer.  Then went up to Waco, Texas to the airport and loaded a couple things that support the tail section of an airplane when they remove it to work on it.  They are going to the Navy base in Jacksonville, Florida.

Had a problem with an air leak.  Unable to fix it but it wasn't bad enough to keep me from moving.  Drove back to the TA in Baytown, TX for the night.  The Kenworth shop is across the street and I will be there first thing in the morning to get it fixed.  They know I'm coming.  It's always something!!!
