Tanker Yanker Spill On I-25 In Colorado

Glad I missed this wreck.

 

I was heading N on 25 not too long after this happened. Thankfully I delivered about 5-6 miles before they were having everyone get off, what a mess it was

 

Techron or nothing at all!

 

5 miles from my house...traffic was a cluster for 2 days

 

I stayed at the love’s down there. One of the shop techs said it took over 4 hours to run to Cheyenne

 

Good god that will mean moving alot of earth to clean up that mess

 

I left Cheyenne with a load to Albuquerque Saturday afternoon. Took US 85 to avoid this, but then a couple miles from E-470, 85 was closed both directions! So I had a nice ride down some of the county roads, including a right turn at a 4-way stop from one narrow two lane blacktop to another, with traffic in every direction at the intersection backed up for a half mile. Right rear tandems barely cleared the ditch, but I used to be a flatbedder so that didn't really bother me lol. I think I scared some of the 4-wheelers when I swung way out and kept plowing forward even though they didn't want to wait for me. I'm sure they're over it by now.

I was a little surprised when I got the message from dispatch Sunday afternoon that I-25 was open again. I had figured it would be already. Got to drive through a little snow storm from Monument to Castle Rock on the way back.

Between the blizzard and stuff like this, the last two weeks have been a little too much, frankly. I've got a day off at home today. I might drink a beer.
