When axles break, it usually means the truck is overweight; so for your next trip, check if the load can be handled by your axles.<br /><a href="http://georgetownshell.blogspot.com/2014/02/a-look-at-typical-car-problems-handled.html" rel="nofollow">Bobby Ladson @ GeorgetownShell.com</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15571957045614720255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378593047440849657.post-16616153360377926012013-10-27T14:32:17.263-04:002013-10-27T14:32:17.263-04:00Yes, we were so lucky Daryl was on the Good Sam ca...Yes, we were so lucky Daryl was on the Good Sam call list! He was very good at what he did! So was Chuck, to be able to pull over safely, under those conditions... makes him a great driver in my book. Yes Sue, it is the Brien's and Daryl's of the world that keep us safe on the highways!

Your description of the day had me hanging on every word. What an experience!<br /><br />I chuckled when I read about the cat treats. That is typical Geri! <br /><br />Thank God there are Daryls in this world! He reminded me of Brien who helped me when the brakes failed. So glad no one was hurt and you are on the road again...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378593047440849657.post-28737646655097938402013-10-26T18:56:56.019-04:002013-10-26T18:56:56.019-04:00A word to the wise..... crawl nder the rig and ...A word to the wise..... crawl nder the rig and make sure the nuts are tight on the U-bolts..... that was another problem Daryl found !
