Wasting time in Joplin

After I picked up in southern California, I drove to Jamestown, New Mexico before calling it a night. Then, yesterday I drove from there to Sayre, Oklahoma and this morning I cruised through Oklahoma City and Tulsa and on to our HQ in Joplin. The inspection bay found nothing wrong with tractor or trailer, an unusual thing, and I was admitted into the main part of the yard in short order.

For some reason, it took Enterprise nearly three hours to pick me up so I could rent a car for the day. Eventually it all got sorted out and I'm typing this from a nearby hotel room. I'll stay here until early Sunday morning, get my 34 hour restart taken care of, then move up to Illinois to finish this trip.
