    When roads are 100% snow packed I shut it down till the plows come out.You won't get the miles anyway so why even try.But make sure you tell your dispatcher your plan.

    AH....great news!!!!

    Another one to keep me on the west coast!!!

    I hate it when they call me and whine and cry "we don't have anyone to run these gummie bears....you got to get moving"......"yeah yeah...dead head to Bangor for that load to Portland (ME)....before the saw mill closes down!"


    I like those loads.....3000 miles mt, 85 miles loaded....all paid!!!!!:biggrin_2554:
