    Made it to Wells, NV. My split the other day didn't give me a full 14 back, so I made it to Laramie last night. Then hit a little of the white stuff around Elk. But, I used the trucking version of the canarie in a coal mine...by that I mean, there weren't any CRE's, Swift, Amazon or Fed Wrecks in the ditch, so I guess it wasn't too bad out there. Not gonna' have to push from here, load doesn't deliver until noon Sunday, and the next load doesn't pick up until 13:00 Monday in Ripon. And it isn't required to drop in Edwardsville until next Saturday, but butthead said Unilever-Edwardsville will accept it Friday...so that's the plan-for now

    left out of Rawlins at 2pm, she was blowing and icing up the road pretty good. At least visibility wasn’t affected.

    I’m in the Belding Michigan area for the night. It’s 10 degrees and falling. Heading back to the yard tomorrow and then the hotel for my weekend. Forecast is not good at home so most of us out of towners elected to stay here and eat pizza and watch football.

    5 times today in 350 miles my front radar said it had debris covering it and shut down my cruise. It did it 3 times yesterday. And each time, there is nothing blocking...I feel an adjustment with my 24 oz adjustment hammer might be in order.

    Yep, and with the way Creaffer sets it up, that drops my governed speed back from 68 to 65. Not much of a difference, but in a 75/80 mph state, I need every MPH I can get.
     
    Speed_Drums, Bumper, dwells40 and 2 others Thank this.

    With my luck it's always right after I pass a truck doing 66 and back on our old speeds it's when I pass a truck doing 63 xD
