    I threw together a Site last year with links to all of the State Road Conditions Websites.

    I screwed it up trying to put frames but should still work.

    That's my truck's name!

    Other truck drivers are the best at giving road condition updates ..... LOL, just kidding, obviously :biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559:

    A driver in Little Rock can tell you what the road is like now and will be 36 hours from now between Flagstaff and Seligman. But what's worse is there are drivers who will put stock in such a report and make key job decisions on this info.

    I just listen to the drivers sitting drinking coffee
    at the Petro in Laramie
    one said the other day he wasn't moving until the road was dry with no wind
    I figure he will be there until 5/15

    I prefer to use web sites and mobile apps when possible and don't forget to check out the traffic-cams to get an idea what the roads and traffic speed and Wx looks like, real-time.

    Shouldn't do that while you're driving but then you like to live dangerously. :biggrin_2559: I do that as well, but en route calling the hotline is what you've got.
