    Should have stayed on I-10 and gone South on 75 or 95 . Going to be 85 tomorrow in Melbourne. You could have hung out with the cats poolside..they would have shown you where the beer is.

    See that right there is what great operators do. Take it as it comes and adjust your plan accordingly, and shut down when it becomes unsafe.. there wouldnt be so many ridiculous wrecks every winter storm, if everybody does what u done

    You chose the best route which is the southern route, you'll be clear before anybody else is that's for sure.. Since there's a lot of time on the load I would've planned for the best possible stop in the area to meet my needs and maybe watch the playoffs tomorrow.. you know those games are going to be great and I don't have a dog in the fight!! Stay safe driver..

    I just got done watching an episode of Little House on the Prairie where the town was supposed to band together to get a decent price on their wheat crop. Only problem is, one guy strayed from the pack and screwed everybody else. We can all guess on motivations.

    Truthfully I can see both sides of this, but I agree wholeheartedly truck drivers should do likewise when it comes to winter weather.

    But there will always be somebody who won’t because God forbid they offend Amazon or whichever clueless corporate dingaling they pull for who’s never seen the inside of a truck and has zero idea what it’s like on the road.

    Will freeze just below 32 degrees.

    Maybe pick up a dozen cases of vodka and pour it in.Vodka freezes at -16 so it’ll buy you some time :)

    lock your axles until you get out on the road.
