 Left at about 2:30 this morning and drove to Bloomingboro, New York, and delivered the stuff.  Then drove back to Carlisle, PA.  I'm in a hotel again so they can fix my truck. Another 530 miles today.

 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.

 When my 10 hours were up, I left.  Drove 691 miles today.  Stopped for my next 10 hours off at the Petro truck stop in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Shortly after I had dinner and got settled in, the belt broke again on my APU, so I'm in a hotel now.

 Was in Victoria, TX first thing this morning and loaded some stuff for a Caterpillar excavator that are going to Bloomingburg, New York.

Left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Lafayette, Louisiana for my 10 hours.
