The Cryo Hauler Thread

But you would only do it before your three weeks out and after. We have a driver that does that and he stays out longer before going home.

 

I'd be happy with $90,000 here in MA.

 

Interesting night yesterday..
Headed north around 10:30 on US 83, a 2 lane w no shouldes, from SD into ND after 1 stop headed for Bismarck.
Temps dropped to 31 w some light freezing rain.
Road were not bad but was cautious when I top a hill and see clearance lamps ahead.
They appear to be in the lane of travel.As I got closer they are and he is stopped with 4 ways on, and road is now solid ice. I try to brake but no effect so I'm gonna go around on the left.
As I move to left lane the crown of the road dictates I will instead take the southbound ditch..
It wants to jack knife but am able to maintain control and as I approach a driveway abutment I gas on it and steer to the right so I don't go up and over and back in the ditch again.
Managed to steer it back onto the highway and get it stopped.
But not until I take out the farmers mailbox and nearly slide into opposite ditch..
All in all pretty fortunate just a couple grill slats broke from mail box.
A few rigs got stopped behind me but we waited till 7:45 this morning to move.

Got to hotel and had breakfast and a shower and got my stop off.
Was told 23 semi hit the ditch in a 20 mile stretch on I94

 

Wow. I hate winter driving.

 

That's actually something I want to do. But becoming a pilot requires a ton of money and time. 1500 minimum flight hours to fly for any airline. That's not including anything you need to get before then.

 

15 yrs ago took a flight class and initial flight designed to entice those interested to commit.
But after weighing all involved, beside cost and time commitments, and my new job, I opted out.
Would have loved having my license for recreational flying.

 

you can get it for maybe 10k

 

VER-RY glad to learn you (and any others) were not hurt!!!

This reads like you did better than FANTASTIC at keeping things from getting any worse.

Merry Xmas!!!

I know for airline license. A local flight school quoted around $16k to $18k.
