    The road was not even that bad . I had no problem running the road.... But there must have been 15 total trucks on eastbound side completely stuck. Had a ####### jacknife into the ditch right behind me , 4 wheeler spun out into the ditch right in front of me... it was like driving thru the apocolypse where people just begin eliminating themselves. Ive never seen anything like it before and now we are a day late on our delivery . And gonna screw up the rest of our pre planned loads. Because people are dumb as hell.
