    I got another $300 from the agent for this upcoming run. He offered a $100. I said no, three.

    $100 for each if the previous times. He gave it up.

    Yeah no you don't want to run those over Donner. I see at least 3 or 4 of them each trip over they don't do well on bare pavement. The ##### of what CalTrans is doing to that highway is criminal they just redid miles of that road last summer and you really can't tell. And they aren't slowing down the 4wd awd cars that are flying by. Unfortunately I head over that pass 3 to 5 times a week.
    If it wasn't for the fantastic contract I have with the manufacturer that I haul for I'd not cross it when it shows. Sorry TLDR but today going over really sucked lol

    Fortunately, I found a quiet spot to park in Applegate. Tomorrow will be a better day.

    The weigh station just west of Grant Junction on west bound i70 said there’s 1000 trucks up there all over the place.

    I pulled up while there’s still parking down here. Thanks again for the post.
