    Watch the videos on the i80 crashes. They are driving too fast for conditions & running into others.

    They fooled you. It's the wind that didn't allow any more ice to build up than 4 inches. :laughing-guffaw:

    Yup... especially the locals in Wyo. Those people would blast over that ice like nobody's business. An accident looking for a place to happen. It was nuts.

    Actually none. I fueled up in Amarillo Fri. DH'ed to Duke, loaded and ran down to Abilene for the night and then came home Sat morning. 130 DH, 145 to Abilene, 230 to the house and 65 to where Im at. I had roughly 120 gallons total in the truck. There's atleast 10-15 gal in my R side. Weird thing is, the fuel filter primer is hard to pump and is spitting fuel when I do pump it. It feels like it has fuel in it.

    I just walked down to a wholesale autoparts store to get some fuel line so I could siphen from 1 side to the other and those aholes don't sell any fuel line.

    And Im still waiting on my old boss to send someone out.

    Between where I live and where I delivered this morning, there is nowhere for me to fuel.

    I dont know if if your reading comprehension sucks or what, but I have atleast 10-15 in my right side tank. Im 5mi from Petro in SA. I dont know why the the fuel seems to have been drawing from the left side more than the right. The tanks seemed pretty even this morning when I left. Should have had plenty to go get fuel.

    Previous company I worked for let 2 drivers go.
    Owner said if they were too lazy to get out of truck to fuel he didn't need them.
