Haw River, NC to Jeffersonville, OH
Big Rig Travels Wednesday began at 8:42 am EDT. It was 64 degrees and partly cloudy at the Flying J near Haw River, NC. We are continuing our trip to Anderson, IN. The load was picked up yesterday. First thing “we need coffee, right? right?”
I-40/I-85, BRS advised we have almost 600 miles to go to delivery and we only have 10:40 hrs on our 70 hour clock, so we won’t make it all the way today.
Advised at 9:42 am that we will get some backroads today.
Weigh mass station at 10:27 am near Mt Airy, NC on I-74. No issues.
Then, on I-77 near Max Meadows, VA at 11:00 am, BRS states that the refer has shut down. We need to find a place to stop address the issue. Seven minutes later, a Love’s stop fits the bill. A reset of the controls and all is working again. He also gets coffee at this stop before continuing.
Welcome to West Virginia at 12:26 pm near Bluefield, as we exited a tunnel.
