    I left the Moriarty NM TA at 1:30 and arrived at the TA in Santa Rosa at 6:45. Grand total of 72 miles for the day. Heading down the 84 tomorrow and want to drive it in the daytime. The backup on the West bound 40 is at least 25 miles solid. Zero movement. Not a fun day.

    Thanks Bumper,

    Going to be trying to get through there in the morning. @ Sky City tonight. A couple of guys on the cb have said shut it down now because ABQ and east are all full for parking.

    84 is a clean run down. Just need to watch for a truck route right turn in one town.
     
    Bumper Thanks this.

    I remember when I was working for Navistar and we were doing the DEF testing and I had just fueled at the 49er Pilot in Sacramento. As I was pulling away from the pumps the #### Cascadia deregulated to 5mph....limped into their parking area. We had the computer program to control the EGR system and truck computers on a laptop so we were able to reset it all and continue on our way within a few minutes. Good luck getting that all done tomorrow.
