    For u wyoming veterans, does the conditions get as bad on 90 as they do on 80, i always thought 90 wasnt to bad thru wyoming , cept last time i go thru there the wind snapped a #### ton of my bungees off on a load of lumber.. Wydot website shows some light snow overnight on 90 but all the wind restrictions is on 80 and south

    My experience has been 90 tends to be less windy.

    And 90 does not do the thaw then refreeze thing that makes 80 such a joy.

    And less traffic density.

    Hey... did you see the Portuguese subtitles...? Interesting...
    I wonder where they are from... without any search I would say Norway maybe... the audience doesn't seem to be American either...
    The lady looks like Morticia Adams... Her singing reminded me of a great Progressive Rock band singer from the 70's Annie Haslan from Renascence...

     
    WesternPlains, dwells40 and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    One thing to be aware of up there is Montana still has split speed limits. Less bad than before but still an issue with the entitled 4 wheelers.

    The locals just couldn't seem to get a clue that I was not going to run 80MPH.

    New Montana law will raise truck speed limits
     
    WesternPlains and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    Yeah i run montana a lot with this company since thats where they located. The split speed limit man i swear that stuff makes it more unsafe . just like cali with their stupid 55mph while every 4 wheeler is doing 90 , im not sure why they think it is more safe to have split limits like that

    I once was teaming with a guy on my first 6 months... he drove to a shipper at night... that was a drop and hook and pick up a preloaded... He did all that... I came out of sleeper, he gave me the papers, I entered the info in the Qualcomm and we took off... 3 or so hrs later on our way to the receiver, I checked the papers again and realized we had the wrong loaded trailer... :biggrin_2555:Oooops.... :biggrin_2552: Immediately called dispatcher... After checking all the info dsp saw that was one of their loads as well... it was going to a different city but still in the same direction and we didn't have to go back... we were darn lucky that time...
