    Debating whether i should chain up. There is 2 big pulls up to our pickup location. We are empty. First one think we will be ok running barefoot. May just throw a single on drives and call it a day, instead of pulling a swift and jacknifing across all lanes.

    Mostly my hesitation to chain is because

    1. I havent had any coffee
    2. It is cold as heck
    3. It is warm in my truck

    It’s going up to 78 today in Detroit. Very rare, Set a new record. Rains coming in tonight, cooling off. Back to reality.

    Well, I'm not nice and thoughtful. Temps got way down to 68 last night. Back to 78 today before that cold front hits and brings it down to 70 tomorrow. Brrrr.....

    I dont blame you driver. This is why i suggested that owner operators get the friction chains for their trucks. Yet it is easy for me to say it where I dont drive and I am sitting at my nice warm desk with the electric space heater making the office feel like its 80F. Probably why I no longer turn miles.

    Waiting for my wife, while she’s getting kidney stones blasted. Nurse has me park in a designated area. Can’t leave. Free coffee inside. Haven’t had a cup yet today. Going to be about a 2 hr. wait. Should have brought a pillow.

    I am sure the nurses will understand if you come back for the free coffee. Just make sure you bring the thermos
