Edwardsville Illinois to West Memphis Arkansas

Edwardsville Illinois is located close to St Louis, however it did take 38 minutes to drive from our consignee to our next shipper. On paper, I planned  for 45 minutes. 
  Upon picking up my loaded trailer, I discovered a flat tire. Luckily the Schneider OC is located just around the corner. The mechanics got us taken care of quickly. 
   I scaled the load at the truck wash. There were many trucks in line to get shiny again. My truck bath will have to wait until another time, perhaps at a DIY facility. 
   Looking at my fuel gauge, I reluctantly decided to get a little fuel. Keep my weight legal, I had to slide my trailer axles forward a few notches. 
   We paused at a rest area near Marston Missouri. It had a prominent earthquake history theme. The notorious New Madrid fault line was located nearby. This region is probably overdue for a significant quake. 
   Delivery went smoothly. We bobtailed out & went shopping at Walmart before settling down for the night at the nearby Schneider OC. 
   For dinner, we had leftover Chinese food while watching an episode of Last Man on Earth. This was a pleasant evening.
