Day 5 & 6 Break Down

On I-80 fifty miles east of DesMoines got alarm and message "check Transportation" "Shift Inhibit" and check engine light. Got off highway and to abandoned truck stop. Transmission wouldn't shift out of third. Called Freightliner help line. Lamont walked me through some checks and attempts to reset. Shut down and when restarted it looked fine, but as soon as I started moving I got alarms again. Freightliner was calling a tow truck. Lamont called back with info that tow couldn't come due to severe storms. Tow company told him that they knew my location and that we needed to find shelter because storm was heading our way. We parked under gas pump awning near building. There was a trailer dropped there and blocked one side and building helped block the other side. Rode out the storm. Lots of rain, thunder/lightning and wind. I didn't see any hail.
