Sitting in the truckwash bay.......

We finally made it to Salt Lake City!  While en route yesterday, our reefer crashed again.  I stopped at the TA in Boise for a new battery and was told all was good to go!  I got to Jerome where I spent a few hours with Lorene (thanks sistah for bringing me my eye glasses this morning); and at 3 AM this morning, the reefer died again!  It appears that the TA DID NOT check the alternator........augh!

So the reefer got jumped again, I got very little sleep (thank goodness I didn't stay over at Lorene's) and all was good.......until 40 minutes from the terminal.  Yuppers......reefer crashed!

We made it to the yard for repairs for the tractor and trailer.  I am loaded with an empty waiting on a new load assignment and that my dear truckers, has been my Thursday!  This week's paycheck is SMALL due to home time and let's hope for a money load next!

Now only am I learning how to get out of a soft spot with the tractor, I am learning the mechanics of a reefer........and not one broken nail, yeehaw!
