    I just got to the yard now. This is the first snow that caught me on the road this winter. I wasn't expecting it. It doesn't bother me since I started driving in winter time and typically take my summers off and push it hard during winter in "emergency loads". But this one was unexpected and Annoying.

    Got a guy is Missoula,Oh. Told him to be careful but he said it's clear over there. Not sure where it is, Ohio ohysically doesn't allow my loose leafs log book to have enough pages to get there lol

    Glad you got home safe!

    Lol there is a town in Michigan where they only have one factory. I seriously think they raise kids in that place. 24/7 they work and half the town is like a big play ground for trucks and manufacturing. Friendly people tho!

    Forget all that math,trucking is far from consistent.some days you'll drive other days drive a couple hrs to your destination.unload then drive to shipper get loaded and by the time you're done you may have just enough time to find a place and call it a day.Loads dictate your hours.

    ^^ one kid down; one to go. Our roads look like your pic; can't believe we aren't on a 2 hour delay! Re the popquiz, Jamie says run the 14's and forget the f$#! about the 10's and the resets... letem happen as they may need to! Now is that a future driver, or WHAT?!?

    Somebody in school (she's a freshie) told her about some 16 hour rule.... and she's like "ya mean the 100 air miles rule?!?" She PUT EM DOWN!

    PATTY, you are correct. The only MATH i deal with is this #### common-core that my son is stuck doing!!!
