    I tell guys if it's possible to get chains on a wheel, even just one, you might get yourself out.

    If not, don't tear up the truck, usually the differentials get trashed, just eat the wrecker.

    $800 wrecker, $50K saved.

    good night all.

    Heater was on last night. Tonight the house will be chilly. Hopefully the cats dont kick me out of bed early.

    Unless you are wanting to run over 4k miles a week or well over 700 a day... It really dont make that much difference... Paper is just easier to deal with when little things come up. I wouldnt run much different on paper than I do now... And yes I have run paper before. The biggest benefit to paper is being able to fudge the 14 rule and get away with it.

    I would stop more for naps... But the number of miles turned and the total time to turn them would be about the same.

    I’m suffering from (SVS) severe parking shock.

    Did a 34 in northern Washington fairly close to the Canadian border. The little truck stop I was in had me and 3 other trucks. I was separated from those trucks by 50-75 yards. No one idling. No Apu’s. Dead quiet in the middle of the night.

    Tonight I’m in a TA in Oregon. I almost hurled as I got out from the smell of pee. It’s also diametrically opposed as far as noise. I could’ve stayed other places but this has me staged about 10 minutes from delivery.

    oh ya I need a shower. No showers where I was. I’ll take the quiet and wet wipe bath over this cacophony.

    Weird. Oversize next to me as well. I’ve got Vladimir in his white Volvo on the other side.
