    What are the chances of me being able to get out in the am? 1-3 tonight. Then 2-4 more tomorrow through Wednesday morning. Can’t leave here till tomorrow evening. Kinda regretting not parking in the paid row. Atleast gravity would help me get out, if truck doesn’t slide over night. IMG_8437.jpeg

    We woke up at that Road Ranger in Illinois to tragic cluster flop.

    Some DUDE with an RGN was stuck, it was really icy, and then some other dude from Super Ego comes in the wrong way, and blocks the wrecker.

    The OM even woke me up, and was like," Watch this."

    Took him a good 30 minutes to back out this long driveway.

    All at 0200 in the morning.

    The next morning in Missouri, The J was one of the most epic tragedies you've ever seen, and it's just a few that cause that.

    At least they weren't trying the highway.

    Speaking of waking up.......I have just awoken from an epic PRV.

    Still UNSAFE to drive for a few hours.

    More than once I’ve had to chain to get out of a parking spot. An RGN is the easiest to chain. The trailer will pick the drive tire off the ground.
