Murphy's Law of Trucking

It never fails. When you have plenty of time, say, three days to go 400 miles, things go nice and smooth and easy. But, when you have, say, 1000 miles to go in a day and a half, of course anything and everything goes wrong. The problem is, there are lots of things that CAN go wrong. Take today for instance. We just fueled up at the Flying J in Waco, get a few miles down the road, and another driver radios to us that we have a blown tire on our trailer.

Joe is amazed we didnt hear and feel the tire come apart, and luckily it didn't take out the mudflaps, the brackets and the lights. We have a repair crew on the way. Luckily it was a tire on the trailer and not our tractor, so its not our expense, but we can't buy back the time we will lose.

Now not only is this going to put us a day behind, but its going to put us behind on a Friday, which might just possibly end up putting us behind until Monday......again.

Hang on, I know there is something funny I can say about this situation...........let me think. mmmmm.............nope, not one thing I can think of........nothing fit to print anyway.

Oh, did I mention it was raining? Rainfall has a direct correlation with the odds of having a break down.

I think Someone is trying to tell us something............
