    Thanks but unfortunately I followed the company's fuel routing yesterday through Oregon. I am shut down at Cruel Jacks in Rock Springs as the road is closed between Rock Springs and Cheyenne again according to the highway signs. I did manage 385.3 today so I made a few bucks. Just gonna have to deliver this Wednesday load Tuesday instead of Monday evening.

    Ooops! I see we have communicated before! It's heck getting old. My Memory ain't what it used to be. At least I don't need Viagra yet.

    looking at the webcams, the plows are making progress, between laramie and rawlins... not making progress on the summit between laramie and cheyenne... and the wind is blowing 20 mph at elk mountain, and 25 mph at bufford... just east of the summit.
     
    xlsdraw Thanks this.

    I got a 2012 cascadia with an apu, this was a one driver truck and it was very well maintained so its been running pretty solid, now my apu is the complete opposite the first week I left a fuse was blown but was fixed when I went home for a reset, when I came back on the road and tried to use it, it kept shutting off with a, hvac breaker hit reset, message. Now I'm in Il waiting for my midnight apt to get unloaded, picking up at americold tomorrow at 1500 heading back home for another reset, seems like I'll have a nice overnight drive n hopefully the fix my apu for good. I know you had a rough start with your truck, how is it doing now?

    Well that 22 hr weather delay has my schedule all out of sorts. Ran approximately 600 miles that had me parking at 01:30 Tuesday morning in Wood River, Nebraska. Rolled around noon and dropped my load at Consignee in Chariton, Iowa around 18:00. Then I headed up to Waterloo, Iowa and picked up a preloaded trailer going to Macclenny, Florida. I made it down to Riverside, Iowa and got parked again at 01:30 Wednesday morning. Load doesn't deliver til 06:00 Sunday but I will have it down there late Thursday. I will have to check in tomorrow and see how operations want to handle that. Macclenny is up near Jax so I won't be anywhere close to Z-hills.
