I'm outside Detroit, Snowing here. Sucks, replacing air compressor and air dryer on truck today, in my driveway.
tucker Thanks this. -
Just waking up, looking out my window and,,,, I'm not impressed.
I usually leave at 2-3 am to avoid traffic and usually arrive at my receiver between 5-7 (and wait for them to open) long story short? I'd already be there by now.
I don't have a CB, so I don't "talk" to these guys, but I see the same trucks and companies every night around the same time window. The 4 am crew. And we usually don't have accidents and know how to get up Jugtown hill without fouling each other. So if we're shuttered today when will they allow us back on the road? During the day when all the 4 wheelers will jam us up? Two days worth of pent up demand hitting the blacktop at the same day? Yeah that will go well.
(GMA just came on and they're showing a live shot from NY,,,, NOTHING! Just rain. They did find some footage "from PA" that made it look nasty but all my local PA stations are running around trying to FIND snow so I'd call it "fake news")Justrucking2 Thanks this. -
