 As soon as my 10 hours were up I left.  That was about 12:30 AM EST.  I was doing good until about 2:55 AM when I ran over some road debris.  

In the process, it broke the muffler to my APU, and then it wedged in tight under my trailer. 

I limped to the next exit, pulled into a small convenience store, and parked there.  Had to get road service to come out to remove it.  The first to arrive was a wrecker that had to lift the trailer up in the air to get the thing out from under the trailer.  It turned out to be a road sign.

Just after the wrecker left, the road service guy arrived and fixed the APU muffler.  Then I was back on the road again.  I'm startin' to think that this trailer is bad luck!  I drove to the Petro truck stop in Knoxville, Tennessee.  My truck was due for an oil change so I had it done when I got there. Only 455 miles today.
