    Did anyone else get to sit for 2 days because of that storm in WY and NE?

    I left the house on Monday and ran to Salt Lake UT. Nice light weight load. Dropped that in the yard and then was dispatched to take an Ogden load to Chester NY which was being transported to the yard. As soon as it got there I grabbed it and got as far as possible into Rock Springs WY. Roads were closing by morning because of the storm.
    Anyway no big deal for us still getting my weekly check.

    Finally after the roads opened, I ran all day Friday into Grand Island NE . It's now Saturday and heading out soon for another day of driving the 80 eastbound .. Easy Money
    Truck on!

    A family friend of mine was holed up in western Nebraska for a few days waiting it out. It sounds like the winds were intense. Now I guess the problem across Nebraska and Iowa is all the flooding. Good ole March in the Midwest. Have a safe trip across there!

    Cascadias are notorious for the starters going out. I had one go out blocking a gate into a shipper/receiver. No one could come or go till I got towed out of the way. I wasn’t very popular that day.... :)
    Had another one that I started in LA, California and I could hear it was going bad. Drove all the way to N.C. before turning the truck off (I wasn’t gonna miss vacation!!) hahaha
