    So did you get any snow? It was dumping snow from Nephi to Cedar City. The I-15/I-70 split had about 3 feet of snow on the road. Saw a truck flip over right in front of me. Never had to put chains on though but cars and trucks were barely making it up the pass. Northbound got shutdown for a good while. I don't think I have ever seen so much snow come down in the middle of May before.

    At the TA in Commerce City, CO. This flipping place is packed. Deliver about 4 miles down the road in the morning, then we will see what my next great adventure is gonna be. To answer TruckDuo's query, I don't own my truck yet, but got one more year of payments. Then it's mine, all mine. Y'all keep the greasy side down, and don't do anything I would do!

    Managed to get to the receiver without tripping the drive line only to be told my 1am apt is not in the books but and 8 oclock apt is in the books. Still allowed me in and said to check in at 2. Only 75 cases so hope they take it off so I can head to the St Louis area and get my other 2 stops off. Oh ya Parked at Associated Grocers. Springfield MO for the time being.

    Love my wife to death but when gets mad, I just hope it's pointed elsewhere. I'm 300#+ but she must assuredly could shut me down. Her dad drove for 50 years before he died and looked at her on a rampage, turned red from embarrassment, and told her to watch her mouth. I about died laughing :biggrin_2551::biggrin_25523::biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559::biggrin_25514:

    Wow I heard all the rumors, and they did let me in the door early, but 3 pallets 70 something cases and I still don't have my paper work. I was the first one in the door. Wow hope Sysco don't take long with 8 pallets coming off. Suppose to be there at 10 in the St. Louis area. Glad my clock didn't start. I'd be in trouble. Guess they don't want to break their 5 or 6 hr reputation.
