Doing the same run a day late. Shipper finally finished loading at 2100, only about 6 hrs later than it should have been. It was still possible to make the appt if I parked on the curb an hour or so. Provided of course there was zero traffic, perfect road conditions, and I was up to doing 2 all nighters in a row after being up all day.
That's a big Nope. So I drove an hour to the Carnesville Petro and just let the clock run out and declared it a layover. I told them to just reschedule the delivery appt +1 day. Had I been a hero and run it in on time, i'd have got there trashed and out of hours to lose a day anyway. This way, I'll be somewhat rested Friday morning and be able to function well enough to escape the next blizzard if I can manage a prompt reload. Probably less likely to be upside down in a ditch too.
Now at White's a day late enjoying a 10+ that will include 2 meals not from my cooler, and a good night's sleep!

I’ve been dealing with the weather in California and being loaded only to 79920. Guess they’re to lazy to get that last 80# on.

Just sayin.. my 7 yr old chains are still new in their little cotton cocoons resting in the storage box I added between the frame rails. Maybe this will be their year?
On the other hand, I got a brand new set of drive tires on with tread deep enough to lose a quarter in. So maybe not.
