Well today didn't go as planned. Didn't go in to unload until noon CDT. Had to follow a nacelle from the truck stop in to the site. The site is way back in the middle of nowhere!!! The road in wasn't too bad, but at the pad it was a mess!! Once the "good" part ended they had to put down crane mats for us to drive on to get up to the crane. Then waited for 3 hours before they started to unload me.

They brought in another crane and put down crane mats for me to drive on. I pulled up on the crane mats and the trailer bottomed out on the crane mats. Had to be pushed to get unstuck. Finally got unloaded. When I backed out found that a drain valve on an air tank on the trailer got knocked off. This caused the brakes to lock on on the front trailer axle.

Was able to get it out of the way and dropped the trailer there. By now it is well after hours and Daily couldn't find anyone to come out because they were closed for the day. They will try again in the morning. I left the trailer there and went back to the truck stop, my home away from home.
