San Bernardino to Fontana: 0 miiles

The last few miles into Fontana were a bit unnerving: my speedo registered 0 MPH.  I stared at the odometer, which read xxx,xx6.9 for what seemed was forever.  If I had not known that 10th gear at 1300 RPM was 55 MPH, I'm sure the CHiPs would have pulled me over for speeding.

I took 35902 thru the "Express Bay" at the Fontana OC. They plugged a computer into the port inside the driver door, and gave me the bad news.  I had to leave the truck "for observation". Lori and I had to take the load into LA with a loaner truck, which had obviously been used by a team of chain smokers, based on the stench inside. The company said we could move all our stuff into it and continue on with the next load: NOT!  I told them I would return the truck to Fontana as soon as we made delivery.
