I left at 2 AM this morning. Nice peaceful drive until I was about an hour north of Knoxville, Tennessee. Once again the "Check Engine" light came on.
Instead of continuing on, I went to the Petro truck stop in Knoxville, Tennessee. I'll wait here until the folks at the "home office" in Carlisle, PA decide what they want to do. I know what I'd like to do with it, but I don't think they will let me have the dynamite to do it.
Late this morning I got my next load. I was recovering a load from another driver that broke down and his truck had to be towed. His truck was towed to the same place my truck was just repaired at in Indianapolis. I went there and dropped off my trailer there. I also got the paperwork for the load out of his truck. Then I drove, bobtail, to the TA truck stop in Whitestown, Indiana and attached to his trailer that was loaded with a Caterpillar 3516 Engine and two parts crates. They are going to Savannah, Georgia.
Left there and drove to the Love's truck stop in Richmond, Kentucky. I'll be here until my 10 hours are up.
I left Florida last night at 8 PM and drove straight through to Indianapolis. When I got there I got all my stuff out of the rental car and loaded up the truck. Then took the car back and dropped it off. Uber brought me back to my truck. Then I went over to Thermo King in Indianapolis to get my APU fixed. Once that was done I left there and drove another hour over to the Petro truck stop in Brazil, Indiana, where I left my trailer, and got it. Parked there for the night. Another 1,000+ mile driving day. I'm tired. Good night.
