    You ain't the only one, been trying the last couple of hours to get unstuck at drop yard, along with another driver right next to me. We have to call in the morning to get yanked out. Tried what we could, even chained the tires, just dug holes through the ice into the ground. Tried his pick up too, with a chain. Nada. I'm still ok got a relay out of here to elk horn wi for 1400. So if I can get out of here by about 0830 should still be good.

    hence why I live in the south. That really sucks, I was actually starting to like the colder weather and when I had to turn on my ac in fl kinda disappointed. But that snow and ice and being stuck have fun with that. Good luck hopefully doesnt delay and turn a long day even longer or more interesting than normal.

    I did prestige in black ops and saw a interesting show on the history channel just now called "big rig bounty hunters." I caught the middle of the episode, one driver was trying to stick it his company somehow and these 2 guys recovered the truck. Another was a driver getting jumped for his load of auto parts in Newark. Somehow he managed to save the truck and the load but got his head busted open. So a different pair of guys took his truck and delivered the load for him while he was in the hospital. Two hillbilly mo-fo's repoed a prostar from a guy that left the doors unlocked. Got a bite to eat and they jumped on it. And the final story was a truck ditched by a driver of seafood. These 2 guys found the truck in Houston and drove the truck 900 miles in 14 hrs. Same guy that started ended the load idk if they teamed or changed driving or what. But the made it and saved the load, delivered it and truck and trl repoed is guess.

    Just paid 800 bucks for repairs on our new van. Fuel pump went bad. Bah. Thankfully we just got taxes back.

    That always sucks. However, I just got unstuck finally. They had canceled load on me too, so maybe put it back, unless they already put another driver on it. Local flatbed driver with a steel load had the traction to get us out.

    Nothing Abby Normal. Just same ol you always hear. Pay attention, don't be afraid to ask questions, team up with other students for the homework stuff. The route planning stuff helps to have others.

    You'll like it. Learn as much as you can. Don't be afraid to ask for help if there is something you don't understand. Go to El Mezcal for dinner at least once.
