    Yeah they had parts of 80 closed last night for winter weather so that's probably a jack knife, I was just saying they have extereme blow over advisories right now

    Not the trailer door. My driver side tractor door. The load is fine.

    And prime has a jackknife today, as per Trent in RA, so my problem is small potatoes to him, and is being treated as such.

    Yes should be a lock on the trailer when loaded or empty if your tractor is attached to a trailer the trailer should be locked

    Finally rolling again, having what I'm guessing is fuel filter issues this week, my mpg is staying at 6.3 on the trk computer and 5.0 on the qc, dispatch said I'm driving just fine, so time to see what ra says on it, which will probably be go to the ta in rock springs, or divert to SLC

    Greenland NH at the TA. If you're thinking of fueling here, leave around 30 minutes for waitin' around in line... there's only 4 pumps open. That's tons better than last month.

    Grabbed a reserved spot so I can get my 8 in before heading to Boston. It only took 3 tries at Lewiston to get them to give me the trailer and load I needed. Bozos!

    Hey everyone, not sure if any of you remember me, but I drove for Prime flatbed division last year. Anyways, I left Prime and got hired with Idaho department of transportation and now I'm living in Boise ID working for ADA county Highway district. I never thought Id be saying this, but I miss the road. I'm very thankful for the experience that Prime gave me and for the people I met along the way. Maybe one day Ill return to the road, and if I do the first place ill look to will be Prime. But for now I have a great job with great pay and benefits oh and I'm home every night. Anyways, I just wanted to say hi to my old family and wish you all the best of luck.
