    I don't recall being parked at a truck stop as completely packed full as this one. The snow is done here (for now) so I want to get moving while I can. I had to very carefully wiggle my way out of my spot and move to another, just to see if I could actually get out. NOW I can hit "ready for dispatch". This place is a mess.

    One time I was parked behind a Dollar Tree when it started snowing. When I went to leave I made it to the shopping center road and got stuck. I had to get pulled out. I was stuck there for two more days.

    Aight. Who you know? Lolz,,,,

    Okay, I'm sittin in my little honey hole just north of Lexington.

    Serious here for just a minute. I have a macro into Dan for a 30 min meeting next week as I'm going to be in brf to get Ethan to help me with my taxes.

    Got the caca scared out of me this morning. While usually pretty cool in an "event", this one scared me. Coming across 90, the Pa portion about 0500 this morning, the road turned to sheeot headed to Conneaut where I just wanted a cup of coffee.

    Bendix Wingman says says radar blocked,,, yeah yeah, snow build up. Road conditions, ambient about 28f, wind negligent. Had 3 4-wheelers tracking me and I kinda take pride in they trust me.

    Single track in the lane and my radar goes fn nutz. Wingman goes nutz as well. I'm listening to a "Coast to Coast" podcast and all of a sudden I get "Immenent Collision - BRAKE". There ain't nobody in front of me! I'm hauling 46 large downhill and and you brake for me????? At that point I reached up and tripped the drive cam.

    Guys, I'm all about technology in a testing and proven state,,, I'm pretty cool I think but this morning, I was scared because I could not control my truck.

    As said, I want to talk with Dan about this.

    I realized after I asked what a dumb question that was, as I am pretty sure he's the only instructor here.

    Pop in and say hi if you're in the terminal sometime over the next 2 and a half weeks.

    Lol I've pulled Avon NY idk how many times and it ALWAYS goes to the same place.

    As for your truck, thats the exact reason I got my ### out of my brand new truck. I dont want some bs technology in my truck unless its guaranteed to always work and not have malfunctions. They cant guarantee it and I refuse to drive it. When its time to get out of my truck and if they tell me I have to take a truck with that crap I guess I'll be looking for a new company.

    That right there is why I waited on my truck and sacrificed some profit to wait for my truck to be fixed. I'll be driving an '18 T680 soon, but it won't be one of those. I pass.
