    There is something on the portal about a new system for rating safety. Does anyone know any details?
    That brief announcement left a lot to be desired.

    At home watching TV. My truck is sitting at the terminal with a Gatorade load that delivers tomorrow in Mira Loma @ 6:00 pm. I'm stacked with a General Mills load that picks up in Perris, CA and delivers in Layton, UT @ 1:00 am Wednesday morning. Only saving grace of the 1:00 am delivery is that it's at a grocery DC which means I'll probably be there til at least 4:00 am. By then the early risiers will be leaving the truck stops and I should be able to find a place to park in Ogden. All this just so I can break even for the week (my Thursday drop went on the last settlement).

    That's looking on the bright side.
    I don't consider anything to be a saving grace for a 0100 delivery.

    Made that delivery and had no emptied. So they sent me to Wal-Mart to get one.
    Told dm they don't give out emptied specially during holidays.
    Sure enough got there and they said no

    So dm said just come here. So I put truck in for its 50k service and shop said owomt be till weds. Till they get it in.
    So instead of rushing to get everything done today I have all day tomorrow which was my original plan

    Salt Lake City at the terminal.

    I had planned to deliver my load tomorrow morning because I wanted to avoid coming here. Didn't work out like I planned.
    There is a major snow storm moving in tomorrow morning that would have prevented me from delivering tomorrow, and I really needed this load completed in this pay period.
    I had just enough time to deliver it tonight and make it here.

    It looks like I may be stuck here for a day as the storm moves through, so my next load will be a day late as well.

    I got out of SLC this morning just as the snow began. It was getting a bit heavy by the time I picked up my trailer but it got better as I went west.

    That seems like such a common part to not have it in stock.
