My Truck Is Done...Again

I just spoke with the engine shop and once again my truck is supposedly repaired, reassembled, and ready to roll. I called dispatch so they could get busy ordering the new oversize permits for the load and am now waiting for the cab to take me over to the shop.

As parking is a bit cramped here I'll leave my wide load at the shop until I have the permits and am ready to go. If the permits come early enough this afternoon I'll go ahead and hit the road, but if it's too late in the day I'll just remain here until morning and head out then. Oversized loads can't move at night so why head out with only an hour or two of daylight left?

I feel better now that I am no longer in breakdown limbo and know that one way or the other I'll be rolling again by tomorrow morning. Sitting around in some hotel for an indefinite period of time is no fun and I get antsy after a while. I'm used to seeing the world go by my windows not staring at the same walls hour after hour.

After reading many times in your articles about your truck I would say your truck has been done for awhile now.  :)

Safe journeys Mason, safe journeys.  Hopefully the road will treat you and your rig nicely :)
