Welcome to Peculiar, Missouri! We had less than an hour of drive time left so figured this was as far as we were gonna make it today.
So, what did I do to fix the tandems? I did it. Nobody ever came to rescue us. I used to have a big chunk of concrete (two hands worth of size) that I would put in front of the trailer tires to help hold the tires in place and hopefully break things loose and the tires move. That block of concrete was accidently left in the old Volvo years ago when I turned it in for the ProStar. Today, I walked around a found a baby chunk of cement but it was cheap and turned to dust and the tires rolled right on over it! I squirted more lubricant all along the rails and waited. Tried to move them again. Nothing. Had lunch. Tried again. Still nothing.
Finally I set out to do some serious walking along the highway. I found it!! Out of place and all alone was a good sized chunk, shaped perfectly for what I needed, piece of solid concrete!! I put it in front of the tires and gave it a go. We moved 8 holes and it worked like a charm! We got back on the road towards the delivery. I am proud to announce we now have a new, hard working, Road Crew member. Meet Mr Concrete!!
Lol, can you tell I’m tired? I’m all goofy! But it did make me very happy to solve the problem and get freight where it needs to go. See ya in the morning and we will finish up. Mr Concrete gets the pillow tonight!
