    They're adding a lot more parking and facilities at rest / parking areas for trucks.

    Their modus operandi for the last 3 years has been to close 80 so no one can get in, but you can get out.

    I guess several tens of thousands of trucks stuck in the little towns for 2 or 3 days at a time tend to drain them of all their supplies.

    This is true. The reason they close the road down in Laramie and Evanston first. Think that some of these big pile ups have created a huge liability and the legal costs the state is facing are a motivator as well. The same applies to California as well.

    They say: "Clothes make the man", but I say: "Pretty tool boxes don't make a mechanic."
    Many a mechanic has an excellent selection of good quality tools, in a well designed box set.
    But, he had been a "mechanic" long before he accumulated all them. Also, he will have a few
    weird pieces in there, that he will have to tell you what they are for and how he made or had them made.

    I royally suck at backing up this trailer. I'm so used to a spread axle. These tandem axles move faster than the speed of sound.
