Driver stuck on I-35 for more than 10 hours

I was not aware of the quote you replied too and it was posted after my comment, so I thought you replied to my comment.

 

Many of us do not do resets on the roads. We do them at home.

 

I-35 was shut down from Sanger to Oklahoma yesterday. Motorists sat there from 13:30 and hadn't moved at 0200 when I went to bed. I think they started inching along shortly thereafter though.

Check out DFW Scanner on Facebook and you'll have a better idea of how good your day was yesterday.

I picked up in Houston yesterday for Nashville. Was gonna be home about noon yesterday and leave out Sunday afternoon. I ended up running I-10 to I-59 and then up I-65. Called my neighbor today and we lost electricity about 0200 Friday morning so I didn't miss anything.

Meanwhile I'm actually enjoying a very stress free weekend with more than enough time to get to my customer. Did 350 miles today. Will knock out the rest tomorrow whenever I happen to wake up. Haven't run like this since I drove for Knight but that was the norm there.

 

I seen the storm coming in and decided not to accept the load going to the Waco area. Decided only to go as far as Little Rock and back home. Worry about it another week.

 

Eh, sorry, maybe I worded it poorly. I was just wondering if it was typical. We are in Texas, his load was to be delivered to Oklahoma. I was just curious if it may be indicative of a bad company or not. I mean, schools all over were being canceled, and the storm was moving in at that point. I guess I thought that under those conditions, they wouldn't bother trying to deliver up that way. I was wrong.

I understand that it's ultimately up to the driver, but he was worried about possibly getting fired for refusing to go. He did refuse to go any farther after he had to pull over on Thursday night. Got turned around to head back, and got stuck on the I-35 parking lot. Neither of us know much about the industry yet, so I thought I'd ask.

 

The D/FW metroplex has 6 of them...might take a while.

 

You are still logging while sitting in traffic. You are not relieved of the responsibility of the equipment. As you know that you need to be in a safe heaven.

 

well now i am totally confused.....
