    Oh don't worry lol you only get one day a year of mush out of me. It takes the other 364 for me to work up to it.

    Got it a reputation to uphold ya know. It's much easier and gratifying to be a no nonsense hard ###.

    Ok, ok... now I am here...

    [​IMG]

    My co. terminal...
    There are 20 empty trucks here... about half of co. fleet... And all personal vehicles are gone... Folks must be at home...
    Glass repair folks will be here tomorrow morning to fix windshield... In the meantime, I don't feel like going anywhere.... But I may bobtail to next corner for a bag of ice... or shower at closest Pilot if I am really ambitious...

    It's very windy out there... The sunrise today was gorgeous...

    [​IMG]

    Soon will log back in Peoplenet and see if they got HOS fixed... if so, will not need to wait till 5 am Sat to leave... Will deliver in IN as soon as possible...

    Hey, most truck stops I saw on the road were not empty... :biggrin_25512: And there were enough trucks on the road... Maybe Saturday there will be less trucks out there...

    Just a heads up, if you ever decide to take US40 from I68 to I 79 to save that PA turnpike toll from Breezewood to New Stanton on 70 because you're heavy enough to be a class 7 toll.....just pay the $56 bucks.

    I never thought one road could have so many 9% grades.

    Yep, I've pretty much determined paying the toll and extra miles is well worth it then travelling a lot of those PA roads

    Made it to the mile hi and no snow at the time. Rolled on over to the Sysco where I'll be taking a loAd off my mind. They have a staging area but it's full of trailers. So is both sides of the road, but I did manage to find a spot. It's going to be h double hockey sticks for those coming in the middle of the night. Just remember the early bird always gets the primo spots. We back quiet$$$
