Yesterday afternoon I checked in at 3 PM at the repair shop at the Love's truck stop to get my trailer tire replaced. At 9 PM they brought me in to work on it. They jacked up the axle and there it sat for another 45 minutes. Here is what the tire looked like...
When they finished, I parked my truck and went to bed.
This morning I left a half hour after sunrise. Had some bumper-to-bumper traffic before Atlanta and some more after leaving Atlanta. In Alabama, I passed a very bad crash that had the eastbound side of I-20 completely shut down. A semi and a car got tangled up. The semi was blocking both lanes and had burned to the frame. They had heavy equipment attempting to clean it up. It was still smoldering as I passed. The car was a crashed-up mess in the median. It looked like there was at least one fatality. The eastbound side was at a standstill and backed up for about 3 miles. They were diverting all traffic off at the exit before that. They weren't moving either. That backup was at least 5 miles and they too were at a standstill. So glad I was going the other way!! I continued on to a convenience store with some truck parking in Tallulah, Louisiana for the night. 594 miles today.
