    yep, its a great ride till you hit denver, from their till you hit I-15 in UT be very carefull if your heavy and or if its snowing or icey. There are some GREAT views in that section too if you do it during the daylight hours might want to have a camera within reach.

    That might work for you door swingers. Most steel Mills will only allow you to check in 30 min. early or late.

    if you are provided with a customer's phone number and can be professional on the phone, unless the w/a specifically states "do not call customer" what is wrong with calling a customer to 1. confirm directions (they do work there everyday) 2. confirming delivery times (again they're there everyday) and 3. If there is overnight parking available. (you could be their on site security) lol.

    if i'm given a load with a scheduled appointment time, i call and confirm whether they hold you to the appointment time or not. sometimes because of how the product is unloaded or storage of the product, the customers can only unload a certain number of trucks a day

    Wasn't met to be a insult. That's just what us flatbeders call you box haulers.

    How right you are. That has to be one of the most scenic interstates in the US. I was only pulling 40K but in a de-rated truck at 11,000' I thought I was going to have to get out and push a couple of times. Got a little snow and rain in one of the passes but it wasn't sticking to the roads. The Jake brake got a good work out to.
