Everybody do the tandem slide

Big Rig Steve officially done at 18:48 EDT safely parked near Whitestown, Indiana.  BRS “That is awesome-sauce, we got free parking.”

Big Rig Travels broadcast day began at 10:16 EDT near Findlay, Ohio.  Sunny start to our day today.  Started our trip to the shipper in Anderson, Indiana.  Rolled out onto I-75 south.

Welcome back to Indiana at 10:56 EDT near Monroeville.  

Stopped at the Flying J at 11:49 EDT near New Haven, IN for coffee.  While Steve was getting his coffee on the youtube chat, Flying in the WV was offering road crew drinks and food.  BRS discusses the fine print of “Buy one, get one” as we roll out eventually onto I-469 north.

Waiting in line to check in to the shipper at 13:49 EDT.  Stream ends as cameras not allowed on premises.

New stream started at 15:46 EDT.  At 16:12 EDT, BRS states “Finally leaving the shipper, outta here.”

Loves near Pendleton, IN at 16:28 for a CAT scale and a tandem slide.  BRS said, need to move the tandems one hole and ended up going two holes.  “I know we are good, but going to spin around and make sure.” “77,500 on the dot.” Then BRS began singing, “everybody do the tandem slide.”  Steve then said, “I got a headache, so I’m going to give everybody a headache.”  (Certainly Jim-Janet Martin will not be amused.)  BRS said let’s get coffee, ok?
