    The best advice I can give is to make contact with your company/broker and let them know you most likely will not deliver on time.

    Oh another thing. It’s happened to me, don’t believe the “they’re waiting on you”nonsense. A lot of places here are closing early today. FYI

    Make sure you have plenty of food and water since there’s a good chance there won’t be any power. Don’t be in a big rush to get moving when the roads open, let everyone else get out there first so they’re out of your way

    If not much food. Eat theirs at fuel stop. Save yours. May be a few days. Remember the restaurants/stores won’t be replenished either on icy roads.

    I talked to my dispatcher earlier and I told him about the situation and at first he told me that we can't control the weather but we can't shutdown base on "possibilities" and asked me if I could make it at 8am tomorrow, now I just received a message saying the consignee is gonna be shutdown and will reopen possibly Monday afternoon LMFAO!!! I specifically asked him if he thinks they're gonna be open tomorrow and he said yes... They are overthere in sunny Florida, don't know what's going on overhere.
