    Was driving between 35-45 MPH on I410 this morning. Most of the trucks and 4wheelers were as well. Only a few were going by faster, but even those were running maybe 50-55 MPH. Still saw 4 spun out 4wheelers in the less than 20 miles from the PFJ to the receiver.

    At my company, they tell you slow down and triple the following distance in any bad weather/ice/snow...etc. They want the load delivered. Not in the ditch.

    Um
    Y'all make your own on and off ramps and your highway planners are on crack.... Probably the truck drivers are sane but the rest all seem to drive like they're on their own back 40...

    I gave up on Wally awhile back. Got tired of the whole Wally experience. I’ll venture in one of the hell holes maybe once a month if that.

    I actually wondered about you. I remembered you hail from somewhere down that area. Didn't expect that you were caught up in all that since you seem to have a bit more sense than that... Does that count?
     
    cke Thanks this.

    actually I talked to a driver last night before I went out and based on what he was dealing with. I called safety and shut down for the night.
