We left at sunrise this morning. Didn't get very far. Stopped at the Love's truck stop in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Had to wait for the Missouri route survey and the Missouri Permit. After waiting for over three hours, the route survey came in. Still no permit. I was told that Missouri was behind in their permits because they were having trouble with their computer system. I found a new truck stop that had just opened up across the Arkansas / Missouri state line in Missouri. We moved up there. On the way I was told that Missouri was requiring a police escort BUT they were not going to do it until Tuesday. Daily was trying to get them to come on Monday, But I doubt that they will. When I got to the truck stop I parked and settled in for a long wait. The closest town to here in Arkansas is Paragould, and the closest town in Missouri is Cardwell.
The two pilot escort cars that I had left. They weren't waiting around, and I can't blame them. So, I'll have to have two new escort cars next week.
