Done.
Not even background hum.
And the GPS?
Blank screen.
Just white for a second, then flickered back to life, but instead of a route, it showed me looping back on the same road again and again.
No turns.
No exits.
Just a blinking arrow stuck in a loop like it had lost its place in the world.
That's when I pulled over.
Not fully off the road, there wasn't really a shoulder, but just far enough to stop and check the GPS.
It was still powered.
No error message, just stuck, calculating the same direction over and over.
I sat back, annoyed more than anything.
I looked up to figure out how far I might be from the next town.
That's when I saw the truck.
It was just ahead, maybe 50 or 60 yards.
Half on the right side, no lights, no brake glow, just sitting there in the dark.
At first, I figured another driver pulled over for a nap, but the closer I looked, the more familiar it felt.
Same model.
Long nose Peterbilt.
