    Best to stay parked in that stuff,or chain up.The Amazon looked like his trailer brakes were frozen or just not released.
    Set your tractor brake ,release trailer brake,tap on the brake drum with a hammer ,they'll break loose.
    I was broke down one morning like that in North Platte,broken fan belt with a bad idler.I saw more than 6 trucks pull out with the trailer tandems frozen.The farthest one made it was a mile before the tires blew out.Couldn't believe it.

    It is actually pretty slow when they have the roads closed in every direction. No one is moving anywhere today.

    Are roads closed as far north as US 20? That was my go to in NE when 80 got shut down. If I could make it to Casper, WY I was golden.

    I-90 and I-94 are also closed. Currently stuck in Fargo but at least I got a spot at the Petro, its not filling up that fast. If I-29 and US-2 are still open in the morning im going route that way (heading to nort east Montana)
