Bunk heater broke again. Gives me a chance to review and practice my survival skills I guess.
I'm glad I took I80 instead of I70. I would have ran out of time up in the Vail and it looks like they are getting dumped on. Where I am at in WY we only got 1 inch.
Is this load ready to go?

Just so you have a better sense of the capability of your equipment, you need to get the company to give you copies of the owners manual for the trailers that you'll be using. Usually, they have the information about tie down points, ratings for them, etc. If the information isn't on the trailer itself, which it seems manufacturers have been doing lately (Thank God), it is still incumbent on you to learn your equipment and it's capabilities. Remember, YOU get the violation, not the company, so it is incumbent upon you to CYA and know as much as you can about your equipment, it's ratings and methods of securing to it. If they refuse to get you this information, it might be time to look around. Any company worth it's salt wants a smart driver covering their A, as well as his own. Just like you need to know the permits, licenses and registration info for the trailer you're pulling, you should also know it's most intimate secrets.
Learn, and good luck with the load and your career.
