So I blew a trailer tire with 44,000 lbs load. I'm at the 128 mm westbound I-80 in Ohio. There isn't much around me as far as service places. I've been here 2 1/2 hours and just got the call, after 6 places a Loves finally agreed to come out....4 1/2 hour wait time!!!!! Good thing I set my deliver for Sunday instead of Saturday night. Had a feeling the extra time would come in handy. One place wanted $1100 to come and put a used tire on, most said no thanks, too far. What a crap place to breakdown. If I keep driving I'd both throw the remainder of the tire off and probably blow the inside tire as well since I'm heavy. Oh well, just baked me a flatbread pizza so not all bad. Hope your day is ending better than mine.

I had to have a jump start this morning on I -80 in Wyoming after 0200 MST. My wait was under two hours for a service vehicle to arrive, though.

Just wait until next Friday. It has a "13" with it!

Hahaha, I think I'm gonna be sick that day! I may be off, I requested 5 days off a couple weeks ago. It's been 4 months and a week so it's due. BTW, I don't remember for sure who asked but I ended up putting the microwave/air fryer/oven in the microwave slot and had no issues. Can't remember if I'd updated on that or not.
