    Bit 1 mo gin by the 14hr clock. Uhhh did I say I was getting heavy? Well the green light came on, but suspension gauge was sitting where it usually sits when empty. So go see what happened figured they took load off, but no. Get to window sign the bills, and it's only 4 bloody,dog on, cotton pickin, thousand pounds. Don't they know I need some weight in my wagon to keep me from playing slip n slide all the way across 80.

    Oh ya I made it to the first service plaza on Indiana turnpike. Night night

    Same here. It went all to hell once I reached the PA/NY line. The lake effect snow has visibility down to basically zero and the CB reports were accidents all the way to Cleveland so here I sit at the Harborcreek TA waiting for 0400 and I'll try again.
     
    Rocks Thanks this.

    My load coming out to Syracuse was supposed to be 40K but product wasn't ready so they shipped me off with 6 pallets and 4K. Suppose they could have cancelled it so lucky there but not thrilled rolling the 90 with 4K. Luckily the weather held off.

    Ya I seen that mess that Cranky is in on Radar. Looks like it will be hitting Chicago by the time I was planning to go thru. Loads due Wednesday so not sure how long I can wait it out. Guess we will hope for the best n take it slow n easy.
