PRIME drivers...What's your 20?

At the T/A in Rogers, MN ready to deliver at USFS in Plymouth early 2moro morning. Snow in ND this morning starting out, but no wind like down in Wyoming.

 

Yeah, we get it. You hate everyplace that is not Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, or Alabama.

At some point you are going to need to learn how to run in winter conditions: slow down, take it easy, no sudden actions.

Perhaps you would benefit from running a real winter season with a seasoned veteran. This one was a joke compared with the last two.

 

Um... Thank you, but I do know how to run in winter conditions. Been doing it for the past week. I cant control weather. No light trailers means, NO LIGHT TRAILERS. Im empty. I cant leave til things die down.

 

Um... You're welcome, I think. 'Cept you again failed to digest the gist of the message. You so busy yourself with defending yourself, you overlook the advice proffered.
Obviously you are an expert driver in winter conditions... you've been doing it for the past week.

 

We were routed through Wyoming yesterday, I put in a request for an alternate route and was told to get to TX any way we could. Opened up our fuel card also, which was kinda nice.

 

I appologize, if it wasnt meant as an insult. Im only parked cause I cant leave. I have no choice.

From WyoDOT
No light trailers: This advisory pertains to trailers of any size
(commercial and non-commercial) which are loaded with light materials
(or are empty) and have a profile that is subject to wind gusts.
Drivers of such vehicles are advised not to travel when a "no light
trailers" advisory is posted as they can anticipate strong gusts of
wind that may result in the loss of control of their vehicle or the
potential for their vehicle to completely blow-over. Blow-overs of
light trailers are very common in Wyoming and controlling a vehicle
during a strong wind event can be even more difficult when slick road
conditions are present. Any driver who fails to heed the "no light
trailer" advisory and who is involved in a crash can expect to pay a
fine in addition to the expense of clean up costs and fees associated
with repairing any damage caused to public and/or private property.

They dont care what kind of trailer it is. Im no expert, but I know to go slow, nothing sudden, and stay away from everyone else. The road isnt bad. If they lift this advisory, Ill roll out.

 

Did you read this part?

 

No matter. Its too late to go pick up today. Have to wait til the morning. Also getting reports of ice on the road. Im not playing with ice, not after watching a guy roll over in front of me. My FM told me to sit and wait, so Im sit n wait.

 

Now I'm just being didactic, but it mattered at some point. Blow it off and chalk it up to the "weather" but you are the one losing income, as is your FM. You seem to like this job, and, from all I've seen and heard, are pretty good at it. Be better, because we all really want you to succeed. Except for maybe U2

 

I cant pick up til the AM. Owens Corning only loads during the day. Im 2 hours away, and dont drop til Monday 800 miles from here. I want to run!!! (just yelling cause I can, not at anyone) Im sicka sitting. I do hate winter, but I learned to drive in this crap.
