MORE PROBLEMS

We left INDY this morning at 7 with a relay to Greenbay. While at INDY, they turned down my speed to 60 MPH. No big deal 64 was better, but now 61 is OK.
Just south of the Wisconsin line on the TRI-STATE, our truck got sluggish, loosing power in most gears. Figured it could be the fuel filter. Got stopped in an emergency stopping area in the construction zone, figured where we were, call SEM and then proceded to the TA on Russel road (EXIT 1). I had a filter but couldn't change it on the road because of SAFETY along the roadway.
Arriiving at the TA, they changed the filter while we ate breakfast/lunch. Got our load delivered on time, and SIMRAN was complimented by the wharehouse manager on how well he backed into the dock (without taking out a trailer door, as a previous driver did). I have to give it to SIMRAN. He pays attention and follows instructions. Makes me feel good too!

We're sitting now at the Greenay OC, eating supper, working on our own projects, and taking showers as they become available. Soon time for sleep, and hopfully a load early in the A.M.
