    I got to run pretty much traffic free until the road block, here the stragglers are rolling in every so often. nothing but a hotel appears open in town so far as can I see. tow trucks are on stand by and the snow plows are active.

    maybe tomorrow

    No, it''s because nobody in dispatch or planning watches the weather.

    yeah that's driver's job, so they say.

    try turning it down, based on the weather and the sit, I'm of the opinion it could start with the planner since company driver's get a pre-planned load.

    Ours does. They held back a lot of loads due to that storm in the NE. Figured it was pointless to send the loads up that way if they were going to get stuck anyways.

    Got the concerned Check Call from the office today, 'where are you?' -- stuck with road closure shut downs. 'OK we'll add one day to your delivery thanks'

    I wonder when that gps or routing device will be here that gives alternate routes around the severe weather slash road closures. some of it is inevitable

    I tell them to look at the D--- gps.

    That's what they have the service for in the first place.
