my wonderful day in jersey yesterdaY!!!

started out my day at 4AM at the service area on 95
15 minutes from my delivery. woke up expecting snow to already be falling, no sonw. great, i thought this day is starting out good!! HAH!!
got to my exit and followed my directions got LOST. had a local driver behind me get me to costco.
got unloaded quickly, then preplanned to pick a load in burlington NJ heading for MA. YUCK!!
picked up my load, still no snow or rain, GOOD
got up towards newark and there comes the snow.
well the salt/plow trucks were not even out yet, so conditions got crappy quickly. there were 4-wheelers broke down in the middle lane slowing traffic. THAT caused trucks trying to go uphill to get stuck. took me 5 hours to go 18 freakin miles!! finally get off that road and go to get on 80 there was a truick stuck on the ramp and we were being detoured to another on-ramp. well THAT ramp also had a stuck truck on it!!!!
he finally gets unstuck and we get on 80 NOW the plows are all out across all 3 lanes going 20 MPH i finally made it to the pilot in mahwah at 645 45 minutes AFTER my 14 ended.

 

the way i log most anything... LIKE I RAN IT.
i made aflag remark where my 14 ran out (45 min. before i stopped) and WHY. then got stopped for the night.

 

that long i was ACTUALLY getting claustrophobic!

ohh, yea!! there was a bar and grill in the hotel next door. iwent in there and had a good meal an acouple "adult beverages" LOL
