Day 3 Hauling in T 35 MD ( The Day from Hell!!)

It started at 7:20am and the same routine but on my way up the studmill rd the vibration dropped the end of my load strap onto my driveline that's when old hell broke loose . The hook end of the strap cut off 2 air lines and punched a hole in the secondary air tank at mile 25 with no phone service and just out of radio range of the crane. luckily I was able to make my way the rest of the way in after freeing the driveline from the strap and get loaded,but as i got loaded my air ride needed air more air than could be produced with the hole and cut off lines. So the crane operator finished the load and we took the line to the pooched tank and plugged it off with a piece of wood laying on the ground. This allowed me to release my brakes but there was a problem that added a twist to getting started out,when the lines were broke i was in the high side of the transmission and it mangled the line so it wasn't a matter of a new fitting i needed more line also.With the aid of a skidder we got the truck rolling fast enough that i was able to get going without stalling, but i had 33 miles to go with tight corners and big hills and only the top 9 gears available. I made it down to the mouth of the road with a few tight meetings in corners and some pissed-off grader operators when i met them at 30 and dusted them out OOPS. Just as i got out from under the trailer my plug in the line let go again with just 5 miles to the repair shop i was screwed again till i made a new plug . At the shop i spent 4 hours there because none of the dealers had a tank in stock so they had to keep welding and pressure testing my tank till the hole was repaired.By the time i was fixed up i went home for a shower and a meal because it was 5 pm now. I left later that night hooked back up and headed to Verso Paper because they open 9:30pm sunday and do not close again till 8pm friday night,but on the way down there was a loud BANG ,yup another tire this time on the trailer.Well the boss had no spare for me yet and it was 1:30 am nothing was open, using the rain to my advantage i just went slower and continued to the mill with my nerves on the edge if the other tire blew i wasn't going to be happy and the boss dam sure wouldn't like that early morning distress call. 90 miles later i had made it but it was now 4:15am and i had to be back in costigan by 7:30 in order to make the 8 30 load time with a 3 hour trip back and i needed a tire.I got back to the nearest tire place at 5:30 and i thought they opened at 6 but they had 6:30 on the sign.By 7:30 i finally left but i was 2 1/2 hours late for that days load time.When i got there the operator was glad to see me and chuckled about my luck lately my load was all slashed out already so he loaded me in 30 min and i was out of there taking a shortcut that i was told about out to a diffrent route but saved alot of time, because i ended up only 45 min behind my normal time.It was smooth sailing down and back but almost 20 hours strait working to get caught up with my load count for the week combining day 3 with 4 , but it was over for the week because a big rain was coming and they shut the newly graded road down so we didn't beat it back into washboards.
