    At this point and time. We don't care about ice fishing. We've landed over 12 inches of snow and more coming in the past 48 hours. My job is going to SUCK untill sunday.

    Chaining up. With triples. Getting stuck. Arguing with the boss. In sub temps. I bet there's over 3 feet of snow on the farm. The road hasn't been plowed. And the sprinkler equipment will be froze up. And my load will probably freeze up on the drive up.

    I was stuck in Truckee, California. The dry van I was pulling was an old piece of S*** .
    Well, my dispatcher hooked me up and told me to return back and pick another trailer heading to Los Angles.
    I was originally heading to Salt Lake City. Be safe put there drivers!

    It's really not that bad until your windshield freezes over. I mean, milage pay sucks but eh, as long as they don't close any highways.

    Go to their Wyoming DOT 511 web page and you can sign up for text or email alerts regarding your preferred stretches of interstate. If you're lucky, the worst of this current system will pass below I-80 (track across 70) instead of the Wyoming area, and maybe Utah will have the gorge and Parley's cleared by the time you get there.
