New tire hit a piece of metal sticking out of the bridge joint at 65 mph on the interstate. There were 6 other vehicles on the side of the road with flats. I keep going 2 miles to the service plaza. Wasn’t changing it in the dark on the road side.
On the way to the pour, I had all the equipment on the truck to make it happen. Learned to “be prepared” long ago.
Belt was stuck between the backing plate and axle. I tried yarding it out with the strap but ended up cutting it with my battery angle grinder.
On time is late. 30 minutes early is on time. Good that you had some extra time built into your plan.
Yep, my MO is to be there 2 hours early. Travel is usually over an hour from hq. anything can happen. The work for the day could not be completed without the machine I’m towing. Ton of problem solving involved gotta be quick on you feet!
You did well my friend. And people don’t often appreciate that until they hire a guy for a little less to save a few bucks and he doesn’t show up. Ends up costing them dearly.
damm lucky and the old motto of be prepared no matter how much we cram on the truck sometimes you do not have exactly what is needed but you have something that will do glad you are ok crap happens fast JB
