Connecticut -

Gov. Dannel Malloy urged state residents to get home earlier, prepare and then wait out the pending blizzard.
“This has the potential of setting a record,” Malloy said in a 10 a.m. press conference.
Malloy has issued a statewide travel ban beginning at 9 p.m. Monday in anticipation of what will be the heaviest part of the storm. All state roads will be closed.
Snow has the potential to fall at a rate of four inches per hour.

 

Snow accumulation of 20 to 30 inches with locally higher amounts, especially across Long Island and Connecticut.
Along with HURRICANE STRENGTH winds coming in off the ATLANTIC to hit coastal regions

 

Yup, that's where I'm sitting right now! Eastern Suffolk county,NY. The wind is howling, snow blowing and freezing cold temps. I'm a local ltl driver and butts at home right now! I work the late shift going to Home Depots at night, no way im getting stuck out there in a ratty old day-cab.

 

Do not blame you for sitting tight at home , we are just getting a few flurries around here and staying around 10'F not much of the storm is forecast to hit us.

 

Well looks like I'll be at orientation next Wednesday. Had to get a release to Kevin from the doctor after I popped my shoulder grabbing and picking up my 2 year old son who was making a run for my front door. So how often do you guys pick up new drivers and take them to the terminals for orientation? How quick after orientation do they get you by the house to stock your truck? Trying to plan so I'm not bringing a bunch of stuff in and out of someone elses truck lol. Don't want to be rude or cramp their space more than I already would be by being in their truck to begin with. What size are the inverters that are in the trucks? People on Facebook are saying they've put inward facing cameras in the trucks now to record you while you drive, is there any truth to that?

 

Governor Cuomo declared a travel ban on all roads on Long Island! 70mph winds, don't come near drivers!!
