    Thanks. I'm expecting to see 3-5 inches of snow on the ground when I get to to Elizabethtown KY. I'm thinking about making some snow cream. Yummy!!!!!

    They will get there. You riding Greyhound? Prepare for a long, boring ride.

    Yes it is Greyhound. The ride doesn't bother me. It getting there on time that is getting worked up. Yeah, I know things happen but stuff like this irritates me.

    Get used to it. Trucking is full of irritating things.

    Bus drivers have hours of operation regulations too. Not sure if they are the same as Class A CDL HOS rules, but they have them. If there is bad weather within a couple hundred miles of you, then there can be a cascade effect of drivers not having hours to drive.
     
    Truckermania Thanks this.

    Yeah you right. The only thing that bothers me is the possibility of missing the first day of classes.

    And the people at Swift should understand that, and work around it. They are all to familiar with weather delays this time of year, and they know where you are coming from.
