Intermodal - How's everyone doing?

So how does it go for christmas time at rails. Does it slow down or busy. And after holidays. Also are they open on holidays.

 

Chicago rails are open 365-24/7.

 

I wouldn't mind them closing for a couple days, lol.

I'm tired of doing rails, been starting to look at other options.

This week I've gotten away from them for the most part, been doing Regional Reefer and Dry Van moves to Michigan and went to Iowa today. A little change.

 

Ya im looking into different things. Jus hate rails

 

Should be busy til April with the snow coming but Christmas Day and New Year's Day know NS closes and Csx closes think Bsnf don't close and the UP might be open but it probably won't be worth coming out unless you like bobtailing a lot

 

####ing hell it's been this weekend ever since friday.

I got stuck on I65 in Indiana on friday from 5PM until saturday 2PM. It was closed for more than nearly 15 hrs. It was brutal. The bridge appanrtly was about to collapse along with accidents and #### and ice all over. . My goodness. What a weekend it was for me and 1,000 other trkers. Lol. Then you had 3 clowns who ran out of diesel infront of the whole ordeal and couldnt move. Had to walk nearly 1 mile to get some food. Indiana state troopers were so nice though, never seen them like this. They came offering food, water and a little #### chat. I asked them, hey, those guys in daycabs... hours and all, whatsup? He said "Man, in this type of condition, hours are thrown out of the window. We aint even gonna bug them or ask them how they slept in a daycab. We just want to get you guys out of here as soon as possible". By far one of the most worst and interesting experiences ever.

 

That is #### crazy i tell ya

 

Where on I65 was all this going on? I went to Indy Friday.

 

Hey guys you think if i let my apu run instead of my truck ill be good. I got the dpf def crap n its no good for idling

 

Near Lafayette, IN. It was brutal. This is around 5PM/6PM.

But other then that, been ####ing hella busy around these parts!
