    Snowed in on I81 in Carlisle Pa.. I 81 is shutdown along with the Pa turnpike. All truckstops are full, and trucks are being forced to park on route 11. What a cluster ####!:biggrin_25516:

    I just got an e-mail on a ban of several types of vehicles on the PA Pike - Class 9 , doubles , empty trailers , RV's , trailers pulled by private vehicles (cars , pickups , SUV's ) , and motorcycles .
    That's a real advantage of us changing from Qualcomm to Blackberrys . We get road condition reports wherever we are . Dispatch can be home and get reports from drivers wherever they are then forward them to other drivers .
    Just got another . State of emergency in MD . All vehicles re being escorted off the roads .

    The news says they have stopped plowing in DC, as they felt it was unsafe to have the plows on the road!

    I am sitting at Citgo in McKees Rocks Pa while the shipper argues with the consignee over the last 2 lab samples. Wish they would go ahead and refuse it or let me unload it. At least the tank wash is only 5 miles away.
