    Black ice, no ABS on truck or trailer, storm is raging but I still can't help but really appreciate my dispatcher and feel like I've been winning the dispatch lottery for over a year now.

    I tell him about the situation, can't even get to the water treatment plant to unload, all he says to me is: "Just be safe."

    This is the first time this winter I've been genuinely afraid to be on the road. I was getting pushed off the interstate by the wind at 76,000 lbs gross.

    And it's only getting worse...

    Visibility down here was pretty bad. It was so sunny I was squinting in the 81 degree weather. Hurry up spring!

    In my defense you could have had a partial with it. I bet If you put Caesar’s skull on there, you’d need a permit.

    (Caesar from TTR, not the dog trainer or Roman dude)

    I thought Ceasar from TTR actually WAS Ceasar the wallet dropping dog trainer?

    Don’t think there’s anything worse than trying to do a quick “grab n go” groceries run and you pop the air brakes just as two loaded school buses show up.

    Welp. Guess we will do a 30 instead :/

    It wasn't him. He's just driving the getaway vehicle for The Stomach.
