Left a half-hour before sunrise this morning. Did pretty good time-wise until I got to south Florida. Had several bumper to bumper traffic episodes down there. My permit route had me do a "U" turn in the middle of heavy (and it was heavy too) Miami traffic. What the heck were they thinking!!!!!!?????? I just had to barge my way through because nobody was going to let me do a "U" turn.
In the process of the "U" turn, a tire on the trailer blew out. I continued on to my destination. When I got there, in the process of detaching the trailer, I flipped the switch to unlock my sliding 5th wheel. The cylinder blew out!!! Are we having fun yet???
I was still able to deliver the excavator. Called the shop and they sent a tire guy to fix the tire problem. The 5th wheel issue can wait.
Over three hours later I was out of there and heading north. This time a LOT more bumper to bumper traffic sporadically from there until I got well north of West Palm Beach. Thought I'd never get moving!!! Once I got past all that I drove up to the TA truck stop in Vero Beach for the night.
