    If I would have been loaded wouldn't have been a concern.

    The gnarliest Cabbage trip was last December.

    WTF storm over Snoqualmie, then chained up 3 times to get over Cabbage and on the other side of The Blue Wilderness.

    Chaining up on cabbage made me a truck driver. I'll never do teams again, but I'm glad I did them back in the day.

    My biggest problem was the 2 foot surprise storm at St Georges Utah. Dinner hour. Nothing. Pretty evening.

    100 miles later barefoot on wet two feet dreaming of the Virgin River Pass before Vegas.

    That was just the gnarliest Cabbage trip. The trips over Old Fujnuts on US 20 and the stretch of US 20 fifty miles east of @okiedokie land, where ODOT chooses to save money on plowing, Badlands Wilderness I think, were quite gnarly in their own right.

    Especially the one in between avalanches.

    I've booked a load to @Opus 's house later on. It may snow there, but not like Oregon.

    So now that we're getting into half hour warm up times. Shouldn't that be counted as On Duty?

    If I hear a dispatcher in any way it's definitely on duty. Pay me.
