    We lose a big contract or something? Back end of Wytheville has trailers parked four deep.

    Indeed. And more keep coming in. And instead of folks trying to keep some kind of order in the chaos, they just drop them anywhere. Never mind that someone may have to move 2 or 3 trailers to get to the one they need.

    Mostly dry and wet all the way across Nebraska and Wyoming until the small hills on west side of Wyoming. Almost blizzard like conditions on the hills then clear at the bottom of them all. 888 miles to go to Fife and only have 12:24 left on my 70 and don't gain anything til Wed I think. Looking like I won't get there til Wed being that ice storm slowed me in Iowa.

    Didn’t need a 34 but only had 30 hours left on my 70 and that’s not enough to run very long and hope they get me back to Savannah for my daughters wedding this coming weekend... was probably going to have to take one at some point or risk not getting where I need to be.

    Got my TO for tomorrow ... another short day of 8 hours from Groveport to western NC due Tuesday morning...

    The last time I was there over a weekend, it seemed to have an extra 20+ trailers parked everywhere possible.

    Should not be any "if" to get to your daughters wedding. Get your priorties straight. You "will" be there regardless.

    "FARR RANCH"
    If you ever get to be send to "Farr Ranch" in Battle Mountain, NV. This place is really in the boonies!
    You must call "Glen" the owner of the farm one hour prior to arrival to ask for directions after the one hour distance your cellphone might not work! And you really need to speak with him and follow his landmark directions.
    This is a farm that usually Knight Transportation goes and picks up "Hey" going to in this particular case for "China"!
    Mr. Glen is a super nice fellow and he will load your trailer fast... I got hit by a snow storm on my way out.
