As soon as my 10 hours were up, I left. Not a very good day on the road. Got a flat tire on my trailer. Stopped at the Pilot truck stop in Raphine, VA. Replaced the tire.
Then the mechanic saw the trailer brakes on the other side. They were not working. That brake pad is not supposed to be like that. Both the front and rear were like that.
They had bad "S" camshaft bushings.
Fixed those. Continued on my journey north. Just inside Pennsylvania, traffic came to a stop. I-81 was closed northbound because a motorhome ran into the back of a semi-truck killing the motorhome driver. It took two and a half hours to go from Exit 3 to where the crash was at Exit 5.
Continued on my merry way. Stopped for the night at the Daily Yard in Carlisle, PA. My APU is still broken so I'm in a hotel again. About 530 miles today. Didn't get as far as I wanted. Oh well. I'll still deliver tomorrow.
