Dumb question from a noob

Not trying to be a buster, okay?

Did you pre-plan your trip? You’re probably going to be in a bit of trouble. Especially if the plows run.

 

I was thinking the same thing. Should've shut down in Reno (if heading east on 80).
I'm also thinking it's likely that CHP will run him off. 14 hours be danged.

 

That's what PC is for now. Violation if he went over, but permitted after the fact if told by LEO.

 

It's naughty to advance a load using pc. Got to apply the adverse (trip planning) conditions rule.

 

He was pushing his 14. Nobody PLANS to push the 14, so something went wrong. Long day, right? It happens, that’s trucking.

BUT he knew about the weather.

Knowingly going into bad weather pushing your 14? Brain dead moment. Inexcusable. Worse case scenario is he gets buried by the plows.

 

Dude the ticket you get for parking in the chain area is going to be the least of your worries. The plows will plow you in. You will be shoveling your way out of there.. Not to mention u take away valuable space for the drivers that need to chain up. Go find a parking spot somewhere.

 

@InTooDeep any advice here ?

 

A 6 hour delay and bad weather looming ahead…there were still better options than stopping in a chain up area.
