Wednesday, February 26, 2025

 I left at about 1:30 AM CST.  Didn't get very far.  At about 2 AM CST, one of my trailer tires blew.  

I was able to limp to the closest truck stop, which was the TA in Earle, Arkansas.  The repair shop closed at midnight.  Our after-hours roadside service people couldn't get anyone to come out and replace the tire so I had to wait for the TA shop to open at 6 AM CST.  The service tech that was supposed to come in at 6 did not show up until after 7.  At 8:15 I was finally pulled into the shop bay to get started. I was due for a DOT inspection so they did that first. They didn't start on the tire until 9:30.  They finished at noon and I was back on the road, but again, not for long.  I ran out of hours for today and stopped at the TA truck stop in Atkins, Arkansas.  If nothing else goes wrong, I will deliver in the morning.
