    I 90 is closed Ellensburg to North Bend.
    I 84 is closed between Hood River and Troutdale and east of Pendleton.
    I 82 is closed in Oregon.

    Lots of ice and downed trees. Probably plenty of towing needing to be done. Reporting from King city truck stop in Pasco. The place is overflowing with trucks and to make matters worse nobody has plowed this lot and lots of trucks getting temporarily stuck. Can hardly walk across the parking lot. Where there isn't deep snow there is smooth glassy ice. Fun times!

    I heard on Fox News this morning that some places in that area got up to 2" ice buildup. @Broke Down 69 is stuck there right now.

    I don't know I pulled in here yesterday at 7 eastern time (was my plan anyway) and scored one of the last few open spots. Now there's trucks every which way. The restaurant is making good money today. Precipitation has stopped here at Pasco and the temp is 29. This could be a while.

    Well the rates out of Seattle and Portland and central Washington ought to go up nicely today and tomorrow for those in a position to capitalize on the situation.

    I rolled outa Kent yesterday at midnight and after fueling at the TA in northbend I was ahead of the eastbound Snoqualmie closure by 10 minutes. Went to Spokane picked up a load went to Newport Wa, back to spokane took my 10 and was back in Kent with another load of flour this morning after going over stevens pass. It aint no thing but a chicken wing. o_O Only time Ive chained up in the last 2 days was to get my loaded tanker out of our hockey rink like yard yesterday.

    20170119_133048.jpg 20170119_133057.jpg still at King city truck stop in Pasco. Truck in front of me has been spinning for God knows how long. Been hiding in sleeper watching Netflix. Weather is now 39 here. With a little luck I'll be able to deliver tonight and get reloaded before the weekend. Still optimistic at the moment ...
    I'm not moving until it says 84 is open.
     
    Cat sdp Thanks this.

    Wa 14 is showing low clearances, but listed as eastbound only. Is this a suitable route for 13'6"×75' if 84 is still closed for an unknown time? I have only been as far as Bingen, WA and east.

    There are like 5 tunnels to go thru with the lowest at 11'9 but thats right at the crub and they go to around 16 in the middle. Ive been thru with our pneumatic tankers at just over 13'. Just gotta try and watch traffic and run the center of the tunnel.
