    I've found there's always something trucking related to be done, even when there's not.

    Yep. The 5.3 mile day was to bobtail to shop and get a windshield, then drive back next.
    Least I know a guy who installs them, $350 for a one piece windshield and installed

    Thank you CalTrans guess I'll be either be starting late today or skip today altogether. 80 closed both directions from Colfax to Truckee due to blowing snow and high winds. I mean what the actual #### gusts in the 40mph range that is like a calm breeze in WhyOMing
