    They don't peel off the previous driver's showoff stickers when a truck is reassigned, so the driver in that truck might not be the driver w/19 yrs with the company. (And anyone who stays at that company 19 yrs needs a psyche evaluation because they're certifiably insane)

    Looks like the southern route thru WY is gonna be a no go...Elk is predicted to get up to 18" of snow, then wind. I may be camping out in western MT for a day or so until they clean up headed for NE...even Rapid City and across SD looks to be an adventure. And the forecast for ND's share of this storm runs into Thursday, with Fargo predicting a possible blizzard mid-late week, so the northern route detour isn't pleasant. April, and a blizzard, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!!!!!

    Well I just swapped my loaded container for an empty container with another driver. Pointing this ##### towards the house. Well Wichita and then the house. If all goes well I’ll be in my home bed tomorrow night for the first time in 70 days. 28,200 miles since January 23rd.

    Thats entirely too long, but I knocked out some pretty good pay checks to get the year off to a good start.

    I don’t know how you guys do it, being gone like that. I’m absolutely grateful for the few of you still out there running true OTR, it takes a special breed, I can barely tolerate a day of todays society without a break from the truck, let alone 70!
