Millis OTR journal

Hope it wasn't one of you guys that made the news in that 50 vehicle crash in Iowa.

 

Nope dont think.it was any of us from here. I had a former student headed east bound as it was happening. Said temps were upper 30s 1 min then next min low 20s and snowing like a #####. Said entire road turned to ice rink in matter of minutes.

 

Pretty nasty little squall through Pennsylvania on I90. Cleared up pretty soon after entering new york. Of course, my fan belt crapped out as I pulled into Angola travel plaza. To make my delivery in Saratoga Springs, I was going to leave here asap 1:00 am...but now who knows, messing up my sleep plan. Hopefully shop gets back to me soon.

 

Wasn't me. We all need to pitch in and buy that poor guy some new underwear for Christmas, though. I'm sure he needs them.

On a more serious note I hope he's okay. That looks like a mess.

 

Dang, white out conditions this morning driving into the KW in buffalo. Need to change the wipers...why is the driver side one always next to useless while the passenger side works perfectly?

December is going to be thin...sitting here all day. Tensioner needs to be replaced and they are also replacing the belt. I'm sure they'll finish in time to let me try to get out of here when the blizzard comes back for rush hour.

 

It snowed pretty heavily (for the area) in Niota, TN last night for just a bit. Nothing stuck to the roads but there was maybe half an inch in the grass and trees. Looked nice under that big moon this morning.

I love going to AWDC in Covington. Delivered and reloaded and back rolling in less than an hour today. Can't beat that anywhere. Now I'm in Gary at the TA waiting for some wings.

 

Got an OTR buddy who runs outa here in Eden where I am tonight. He told me that he hides his car keys and where he hides them. Told me I’m welcome to use his car. I’m chompin’ on pizza and beer now.

 

It's been awhile since I've been there, but I can go in early to XPO in Menomonee Falls, can't I?

 

Yeah they’re kinda fcfs. I’ve never had a problem there being early.

 

I’ve heard that it’s stupid to reply to your own post. Well, I reckon I’m stupid. I’m full and enjoying an after supper beer though. Buuuurrrrrrp.
