My Experiance with Watkins Shepard!

Have you guys ever tried the truck stop right next to the raceway (think it's a Petro) as your exiting out the north end of Vegas? There is an Auto Auction north of the interstate there that I helped install cabling on a few years back. That truck stop there had an Iron Skillet and of course you don't have to deal with Vegas traffic to start the day if you're heading north.

 

Grew up in NW Ohio, small town right across the line from Ft. Wayne.

 

That was really helpful AT. In fact you don't realize how helpful it was. I appreciate you taking time out of your schedule to help me out. Thanks again.

Ok place, that's the only place in Vegas I've stayed at, although I stayed overnite at the terminal before. I also like the fact that I'm out of the way of Vegas traffic in the morning as well...

 

wait is it seriously only that little of a difference? fffffuuuuu you just ruined my day man, but i will def remember that for next time. i only made 400 and some change in 8 hours today, well according to my log but it was really more like 8.5. the chains arent even that bad, i got them on in a half hour so i guess im ready to audition for irt or something. the guy behind me only had 2 chains he came up and asked me which he should put them on hahaha.

what kills you up there is the weekend traffic, not so much the chains. at the tunnel you will waste an hour+ easily because %&*&^% cars do not know how to merge.

the roads over in neb are looking pretty clear so hopefully we can all be flying tomorrow.

 

when the traffic gets really bad CDOT will start metering at the tunnel (ie, they'll close the tunnel for 20 minutes per hour to let downstream traffice subside a bit.

also, when loveland pass is closed, the tunnel is closed at the top of each hour to let the hazmat traffice through.

 

well i live in denver and when i used to have time go up there a lot to snowboard so i have been through it more than anyone. the thing is about every time i go there is never traffic after the tunnel its all because it goes to 2 lanes after the hill. the only time theres traffic actually backe up that far is like sunday evenings.
