    I have always taken alot of pride in my ability to skirt the edges of bad weather. Can't do it this year.
    Woke up to 4 degrees in Ohio and said f it. Booked a good paying load to Tampa. Have no clue how to make money leaving Fla but it most likely doesn't matter anyhow. Fully expect to be taken out by a catastrophic tornado on my way just because.
    Six more weeks of this BS east of the Mississippi. Not so bad I guess, I feel like I could sleep that long at this point. Man.

    I’m sitting in Louisiana, no freight worth taking. Only way to skirt this weather, it’s 40s today and these people got big winter jackets on Lol. At least I’ll get the salt off the Truck. Next year I’m parking it for 2 months. ( I swear that every year)

    Lol. The very first sign of cheap freight is southerners with stocking caps, outrageously big jackets, and gloves.
     
    Lepton1 and Rideandrepair Thank this.

    I’m surprised the OM got out of bed for under $5 mile

    You're confusing the OM with the esteemed members.

    Permian Basin?

    I had to replace a set of goggles last year after loading in #### like that. The lenses were so scoured everything looked like your picture.
