 This morning, I drove to the Petro truck stop in North Little Rock, Arkansas.  I load a few miles from here Monday morning.

 I left at 2:10 AM EDT this morning.  Drove the rest of the way to Gurdon, Arkansas, to another Georgia-Pacific plant and delivered the two forklifts.  Then went to the closest truck stop. Made it there with only 19 minutes left on my drive clock.  686 miles today. I'm tired.  Good night.

 When my 10 hours were up, I went to leave.  My trailer had other thoughts.  All of the lights along both sides of my trailer did not work.

The shop here was open 24 hours, so I checked in and waited.

At 6:30 this morning, they brought me into the shop. Here is what they found...

He spent hours working on it.  It really gave him problems. He gave up and quit working on it around 10 AM.  Another guy started on it at about 10:30 AM.  I finally got out of there at 12:15 PM EDT.  

I left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Greeneville, Tennessee for my 10 hours.

 At 1 AM EDT, I left Carlisle and drove down to Emporia, Virginia.  I went to a Georgia-Pacific plant that had closed.  Loaded two forklifts that they are shipping to another Georgia-Pacific plant in Gurdon, Arkansas.

I left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Greenville, North Carolina, for my 10 hours.  Only 449 miles today.  This heat really sucks the life right out of me!!!  Damn, it is HOT!!!

 They finished my truck late this morning. Unfortunately, they didn't have anything worth a flip for me today.  So I stayed there for the night.

 They repaired the stuff on my trailer this morning.  My truck went into the shop this afternoon.  They couldn't get it fixed today, so I'm in a hotel for the night.
