    I went out after Christmas one year and dispatch kept me running up north in major snow. I finally told them to get me out of this for a few days or I was going home. They got me a load out of Michigan going to Bakersfield, Ca. Kitchen and counters for 2 new Little Caesars stores. Went to sleep at Bruce's TS and when I woke up it was snowing and there was around 5" one the ground. In Bakersfield. My dispatcher didn't believe me when I called and told him. January, 1999. Was stuck there and extra day because the store owner wouldn't drive in snow.

    LOL, last year my driver had been battling snow across the Blues in Oregon for about six weeks, so I sent him on a gravy run to pick up some catfish fingerlings for me an hour or two north east of Tuscon. He almost didn't make it out before that huge snow storm. Had to pull an all nighter to get to Utah and decent weather.

    He didn't think it was funny.....

    FAIL.

    I’m not sure if my friends suck or I’m not worth it. Who am I kidding. I’m worth it. LOL

    Dang now I want fish tacos, and all I’ll get is something gross.

    My seat belt chime has decided to ding whenever the hell it pleases. I tried to run down the error. I think the seat belt clasp (female side of course) is failing. So I unplugged the wire and put tape over the light till I can figure it out.

    Is there any problem with this? I can only imagine the ECU will see it unplugged and derate the motor till I plug the ####er back in. The random dinging had to stop or I was going to lose my mind yesterday.

    Speaking of trailer park Florida I'm in San Antonio. It's 70% millionaire beef and horse farmers with 1000's of acres of land each and 30% what makes the news all the time about Florida lol. There is really no middle ground in this state. You are either doing very well or very bad.
