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.
