    I wanna get snowed in if thats the case. Than again my FM would think i was on crack or something. He knows i would just keep driving. Unless the roads are physically unpassable.

    The time we got a hotel Denver got 23 inches of snow and the roads we're physically impassable. The only other time someone got snowed in was on 77, 79, or 81 I can't remember anymore (getting too old) but the road was closed for like 2 days, and pretty much everyone was stuck on the highway. Other than that they "close" roads, but for the most part they are passable enough to get somewhere safe to park.

    I went a lot farther than 1200 miles, don't know where you got that number, but fuel was 50 gallons here, 72 there 61 next stop, pretty hard to tell how much fuel you have when you get that kind of fuel stops.

    I had a guy run out because his gauge quit working, showed 1/4 tank when he ran bone dry. Ran him for two weeks before getting him to the shop, just had him top it off every other day.

    Speaking of running out. I think it was when I was at Roehl (can't remember for sure) that a driver did a drop/hook at either Birdseye or Geneva cold storage and put the bills in a drop box for after hours deliveries. Turned out he confused Birdseye and Geneva which share the same facility and no one noticed until the reefer tank ran dry and the load was ruined.

    Yes, but make sure you do it conspicuously. If you could actually sing the Mission Impossible theme why filming them it would make it better. Then when they ask whats wrong with you, just say Tom told me to do this. Trust me, everyone knows my name.
     
    Treefork Thanks this.
