This morning I talked to the shop about my jeep. They brought it in right away. As usual for me, it would not be a quick fix. Will take all day to fix it. Then talked to the woman that arranges escorts, she took care of it. Talked to my dispatcher and rescheduled my Maryland State Police escort to tomorrow morning. With all that done I decided to start my truck and make sure everything was ok with it. It wasn't. My secondary air tank was frozen and would not fill. Was able to put the truck in an empty shop bay to let it thaw. Outside air temperature is 5 degrees Fahrenheit (-15 degrees Celsius). Sunny, still breezy, but not as bad as yesterday. Once it thawed out everything was fine again. Took it back outside and parked. Left it idling instead of using the APU.
This afternoon I got the jeep back from the shop. After hooking it up and a LOT of "monkeying around" with it, we came to a mutual decision the another truck would do the load. I was very happy about that. So I parked it out of the way, took off all my chains, and hooked up to my next trailer. I'll load tomorrow in Baltimore.
