    Yeah it's going east for sure .I'm en route to Hines, LaGrande, Portland an Lakeview Oregon right now. I'm doing a reset in Lakeview before I get loaded Monday night or Tuesday morning and I'm sure to catch a piece of this storm when I leave Lakeview to head back towards SLC.

    Route was requested...as suggested by @Rontonio.
    I've ran this same route before, I think it's fine. I'd rather do it than I-5.
    Weather is fine, rained prolly half the day yesterday (Friday). I made it to the 57 in WA, curfews north of here weren't gonna let me get anyplace else.
    I'll make the barge terminal this afternoon, board this evening for a late night sailing. I'm too heavy for the ferry.
    After I'm unloaded it'll go to crap, the Coq is apparently gonna get dumped on, and so is everything from there home...
    Center rail first!!!

    ***edited to add:
    Jesus, looks like I got outta Cali just in time!

    Here's a hint: when bidding big stuff, ALWAYS quote "plus any police, and/or utilities services required by permit".
    They'll break ya if ya don't.
    The 22'high I did many years ago, the bucket truck bill was >$70grand!
    If you get good ones, it is. They can make life soooo easy for you. If this is your first superload, and you're doing it with cops, you're spoiled!

    The trucking industry needs young drivers to replace me and others to keep things going. Most of the younger ones really need to be doing other things besides driving. Once in a blue moon one comes along that would really do good with their own equipment, and I think you to be in that once in a blue moon crowd. You ever thought about your own equipment?

    We give him a hard time on here, but ole @stwik is well on his way to big things. Young guy with old school values. Bright future ahead.
