    Got a nap in while they moved him over, cop knocked on my door and saw I was holding everyone up xD. Made it here to Sap Bros to park due to running out of time. Past 5 more trucks in the ditch mostly in the left side as they speed up to go around and end up crossing the line and getting dragged in.

    Edit - hope my cargo doesn't explode on me, transporting soda pop in a non insulated trailer on below freezing conditions not fun. Would of liked to del before having to let it sit a whole 24 hours in freezing conditions.

    And If I may politely add.......

    I've actually tried to develop friendships with them. Won't Happen.

    They Don't like conversation, They Don't Like having Dinner (Even if I buy) together-

    They wont use a radio...... And they wont dress properly for business...

    Also, They enjoy using water bottles as necessary means of cleansing themselves out in the truckstop stalls, And Leave the used bottle right there next to the toilet.

    Other than that, Their Driving Habits are "Hammer Down Johnny" In all weather.

    There was a lot of traffic today on 80, mostly 4 wheelers and RVs. Saw 1 snowplow in 100 miles. NE DOT should be ashamed. 3-4 inches of snow and the roads somehow were a complete disaster. Many Darwin awards were won by idiots slamming on their brakes freaking out about patches of ice. And they wonder why cars run off the road and trucks jackknife smh.

    The beer haulers pulling vans would idle so it would vibrate the trailer just enough to keep it from freezing. Not sure if it works for soda as it has no alcohol in it...
