Left Denver at about 13:30. July 8 In Layton, UT at 23:00 July 9
Hot last night – no idling, and it was high 70s and low 80s late night in Layton. Driver I got a ride with, Shawn, loaned me the use of his fan – it was apparently just fine in the lower bunk. With the fan on, the upper bunk was ok – I managed about 4 hours of sleep.
Shawn neglected his pre-trip yesterday. I can kinda understand. He had to change trucks at the drop of a hat in the morning and get on the road. Still, yeah, he should have done it.
Found out this morning he was at least a gallon shy on coolant and FOUR gallons low on oil! WTF was that other driver doing?:
After Shawn took care of the oil/water, he took the truck over to the shop for a tire check... it'd been a while. They discovered that the right steer was pretty badly mangled.. had to be replaced. Took 'em about 5 minutes.. yank the one rim, put a new one on.
