Brake problem–day 8

As it neared 9:00 this morning with no tow truck arriving, I wandered into the Brown and Brown office to see what was up.  I was greeted with, “How are you today?”  I said, “nervous.”  I was told I needed to call the roadside assistance number again, and tell them who I wanted to tow me, and where I  wanted to go.  What??  Of course, the emergency roadside tech told me I couldn’t do that.  THEY would decide who would tow me, and where I would go.  Ack!!  They said they would call me back.  Yeah right!  A little before 11:00, the original tow company showed up.  Turns out Coach Net called them, and yes, I was still going to Austgen Fleet Service in Griffith, IN.  Don’t you think they could have called me back, and told me that?  However, I’m happy to report that this second tow job will be fully covered by my policy.  Phew!

Then there was the adventure of once again following the tow truck.  Austgen Fleet Service was about 45 miles away, and it took us over two hours to get there.  At one point, the tow truck and my rig stopped in the right hand lane of a busy four lane road and stopped.  I immediately put on my flasher lights.  After several minutes, he started driving again.  Turned out he was lost!  After another three or four miles going around in what seemed like circles, we finally arrived at our destination.  The result of all this is that I am so turned around that I don’t know where I am. 

Of course, by the time we arrived, it was too late for them to look at my rig.  So, I’m in a new parking lot with no hookups until they can give the rig a look in the morning.  They do seem to know much more about the Workhorse chassis than B & B did.  I’ve got the generator running, but will have to wait until tomorrow for any more information.  It was about time I exercised the generator anyway. 

I think it’s time for a glass of wine…

Thanks for stopping by… talk to you later,  Judy
