Didn't get ten miles......tractor broke down

It is 5:00 AM eastern time and I am back at the Columbus terminal already!  I didn't even get ten miles into my first load and my tractor broke down!   Every time I would hit a large bump in the highway the entire electrical system would turn off.  I could get it restarted in a few seconds, but it would continue to cut out on me with every bump I hit.  So I turned it around and drove back to the terminal. Now they can take the load off of me and then I get to wait in line to have the shop fix the truck.  Quite the start to my life on the road by myself......

But as Diane says....."it will be what I make of it".......so I refuse to become downhearted about the situation.  Who knows....maybe I will be assigned a different truck!   That would be nice......more later......Tom
