Easy day today.  Left a half hour before sunrise and drove to the Pilot truck stop in Haggerstown, Maryland for the rest of the weekend.

Left this morning half hour before sunrise.   Had a great day on the road.  No problems for a change.  Was good to be back at it again!!   Stopped for the night when I ran out of daylight at the east bound rest area on I-70 in Belmont, Ohio.

Well, the truck is finally fixed.  Went back to the Daily yard in Bettendorf to get my trailer and spend the night.  Will be back on the road in the morning.

This morning got my annual inspection done at the Daily shop in Bettendorf, IA.  Then went over to John Deere in Davenport, IA and loaded a John Deere 250 Dump Truck that is going to Baltimore, Maryland.  

Left there and got 4 miles into Illinois when I lost all my oil pressure.  I pulled off to the shoulder and checked out the truck.  Have no idea what is wrong.  To make a long story short, they came over from Daily's yard in Bettendorf and took my trailer back to the yard.  I got towed to the Kenworth shop in Rock Island, Illinois.  

I am at the Hotel Davenport in Davenport, Iowa.  Have no idea what is wrong yet.  But with the way things have been going, I'm sure it won't be easy or cheap.  Also the camera will be off until the truck is fixed.

This morning I found another coolant leak.  I went over and delivered the engine then drove around the building and had the shop fix the leak.  Replaced my thermostat too, it was bad.  After that was done I drove to the Daily terminal in Bettendorf, Iowa to get my annual inspection done.  Got there too late today to have it done so they will do it in the morning.
