    Happened this morning just west of Fargo, ND. Drivers ok, probably shook up though. Going to fast for the icy wind blown snow covered roads.
    The XPO one happened over by Barnesville, MN this morning as well. Again to fast for conditions, he’s ok. XPO one is a friend of mine. They had 3 in the ditches this morning all from West Fargo.

    One of my buddies just had his chevy wrecked by one of these steering wheel holders going way too fast. Prison express truck lost control up near watertown and caught him while passing when the moron jack knifed trying to change lanes. He is mostly fine just shook up and brused pretty good but the chevy is a total loss.

    If you see a western express truck in the ditch up there with a smahed up blue 2500 you will know why. Dont have pictures yet because they took him to the hospital since he was out cold when then showed up and he hasnt gotten to even see his car yet.

    It does get fairly wicked on that stretch. Stopped into my company’s yard yesterday and I thought I was gonna get blast-frozen getting fuel. Luckily I didn’t have to get anything done in the shop so I was able to get out of there. It was 15° and windy. Got into Bismarck and it was almost 40 out.
