    Aren't they just pleasant? If there's any group of workers that portrays such a hatred for their job, it's them.

    Yep, I did. Now up in South Plainfield, having had to navigate the twisty pathways of NJ 27 and the Garden State Parkway. And going under a bridge with 13'5" of clearance with a 13'6" trailer.

    Yeah it snowed a little in Flaggstaff.

    Did a reset in Vegas,than was sent a load,picking up in San Bernadino,with a couple stops to Miami.So it looks like I might miss this storm.Hopefully you'll have the same luck when you get unloaded.

    Those two Miami drops are across the street from each other. Easy Peasy.

    That always makes me nervous.
    I just don't see the logic to such signage.

    Lol..... here's something I learned a long time ago. The 13'6" trailer height is accurate, with tall rubber. We run low profile tires like most other companies, which is 2" lower then the tall rubber. Most O/O's run old school tall rubber. 13'6" for them is just that, 13'6" for us it is actually 13'4". To this day, I take that into consideration when going under a questionable underpass.

    Great, they had a little freezing rain the other night and everything east of Memphis looked like an off road demolition derby. This should be comical tomorrow night and Saturday morning when I go through.
