    I was just there a couple weeks ago. I picked up marble dust in 50lb bags for a shower enclosure manufacturer...I scaled there but didn't stay.

    I'm in Utah. Beaver, to be precise.

    I just couldn't bring myself to work it any other way.....

    Tucker, what's this about a dispatcher forum and having to change your "IPO" to access it? Is this for real or are you yankin' our chains? Because I've never heard of changing an IPO.

    Seen about 6 or so Cretens bob'en east on I80 through Cali through Nevada. i talk to another Creten who said they were all sent to SLC to move trlrs. One guy came from San Jose. i asked about it with the planners but of course they knew nothing.

    I got a really good snow shower going over Donner. Got pretty bad in some spots. my windshield was pretty packed with slush. Sitting in Lodi with a morning del. to Tracy. Once mt I will have only 9 hours till Tuesday. Looks like a 34 reset is in my near future.

    Glad I don't work for Crete, I'll use the machine my Doctor prescribed me. Not the one my non medically licensed employer wants me too.

    I've heard the wet stuff in Beaver is the best tasting around.

    When I picked up my chains in SLC on my way to Cali via Donner Pass not too long ago there were so many trailers parked in the SLC yard that I could barely find a place to park. Perhaps they are clearing out the yard?

    I hauled a heavy load of Corona beer to the Wilmer terminal from there. Got a scale ticket there too after being loaded and before I left.
