    I have had good miles, 3,000+ for the last two weeks but had only 120 miles yesterday, waiting for shipper all day today and just got news my load may not go as shipper does not have a TransAm empty.

    One random thought. Our "satellite" Traq boxes are not really satellite but driven by a cell phone system right? I noticed it my first month with TransAm that when there is no cell phone signal my Traq is on a red flag. I am in that situation right now.

    I was told that they use both but mainly cell. if it is a large amount of data like your logs then it is Cell. i think location info is sent thru the Sat. not sure the way it is but someone might correct me.

    5:00 update.

    Don't travel in areas impacted by this winter storm unless your trip is necessary. If you must drive, expect your trip to take much longer than normal and take it slow out there.

    I can attest to the horrid conditions. 7" of heavy, wet snow right at drive time. Not fun. The plows are put and so are the race-car drivers who think the laws of physics don't apply to them any more than the speed laws do.

    Be careful while you navigate the Midwest, professional drivers. It's not for the faint of heart.

    Yes, I mean a tire. Wasn't able to go anywhere to miss it. Guess when I ran over it with the trk, trying to center it, it moved it to the left enough, that it took a left side tlr brake line out.

    I'm driving a 2014 Cascadia. Fairing I'm talking about is the vertical one, running up the truck.

    Ain't nothing like that feeling one gets, when they suddenly find themselves, flat on their back and staring at the snow coming down!!!!!! Even with all my padding, it still hurt.
