    Looks like the storm I dealt with Sunday night. No chain law for Loveland pass for hazmat. They didn’t work the road so I spun out on a turn couldn’t chain waited 1.5 hrs for a wrecker. Came down barefoot then was gonna chain up at the next chain station but spun out on the hill before it. Same wrecker happened to see me and came back and pulled me up. Finally chained up got over vail. Made it to grand Junction and shut down. Next day dry roads.

    We got another storm coming through tonight lucky I’m on a restart. Got to cover run tomorrow in Wyoming but I’m thinking by the time my restart is up the road will be closed. Wait and see.

    You should check on facebook page called ltl underground and ltl truck drivers. I've seen few Estes drivers post there. I applied to Estes before I got hired at FXF and someone from Richmond VA called me withing a week. They usually have openings for city drivers and CDL trainee

    Their yard in Scranton is small. Breaking a set must be a hoot

    2-4 inches of snow, sleet, freezing rain, with a Winter Weather Advisory turned into 10 inches of snow and a Winter Storm Warning. Was parked at the hotel in Wilkes=Barre by noon. Watched the storm come in around 3 and it was a mess after that. 309 Business was at a stand still most of the night. Actually slept in till 5am, left the hotel at 6am to head to Dallas,PA. 309 north going up the mountain was still bad but the Volvo did good and got me up the hill, LOL
