    We don't have mountains we have hills. But there are some pretty #### nasty ones in the winter if you run up there through broken bow, valentine, out there by chadron, yea them to lanes are a ##### at times. Although when they shut down the big road that's all you got. Half the time the 2 lanes are better than the #### interstate to be completely honest. And god forbid you get up into south Dakota. Guess they don't have anybody capable of running a plow truck in that state.

    Only thing that makes me nervous about the snow is the shoulder and sometimes you can't see your lane because blowing snow covered the plowed road.

    Tony Has it right on here!, I couldn't tell you how many times, up in Mt, WY, CO Ut, ID, Wa and OR, that I have either sent s message over the QC or on the phone, This load of "Gummy Bears" is going to be late, They may pitch a fit but they have nothing to say, if they do I'll tell them they can come out and drive it for me or they can wait till I feel comfortable with the conditions on the roads.
