    What's it worth to you not to let your dispatcher know?
    Bringing a 53 across 299 still isn't any picnic but it's better than it was.
    Mud slides close it in the winter and tourists clog it in the summer.

    Last time through still had a few places of single lane doing repairs and cleaning up from a pretty sizable landslide

    From the sounds of that, pups could make the trip where a 53’ might have some trouble.

    Yup. All the LTL outfits run that way.

    Here's some video of Richardson Grove. This OS was routed this way...I have no idea why.

    299 is great road now. Shouldn’t be any hang ups. Around the bluffs at Burnt Ranch will be a little tight but not bad.

    Now why would I be thinking that permit with escort cost a very shiny bunch of dollars?

    Judging how late I got the dispatch, it was a CH Robinson broker load and dispatch was digging to find anything and everything to get us moving out of SoCal. Freight hasn't been exactly good last couple weeks out of SoCal. There was 8 of us already sitting 34 hours.
