    Was it a red reefer? Or were you one of the RGN that were stuck?

    Sounds like one of my neighbors. I'm between 52 and 85.

    I wouldn't let any of you in my house because I'm paranoid but I would let you stay in one of the trucks

    I picked up potatoes in Alliance NE late Tues, with nothing left on the clock. Headed toward Long Beach CA early Weds morning. Nope! Turned around by closed NE-71 just south of Scott's Bluff NE. Holed up at the WTT there for 2 solid days. What blows my mind is the reefer went stupid with a "Low Oil Pressure" code (though full of oil, not knocking) and would not run. Yet those taters stayed within +/- 1° of the 38° they needed, even through 1/2 of Friday getting to the TK shop in Cheyenne. Must have had some ground heat in 'em.

    Nope. My truck is black. I recently posted a picture of my truck here this past Thursday:

    This is all the more reason for everyone to have staple type foods in the truck, water in bottles and at least one pot with a heat source for cooking. If you ever see my truck parked during a blizzard, you can bet either myself or the wife is cooking something that's more fitting to eat than anything at most of these 'truckstops'.
