    I’ll trade you. I’m in Louisiana and my weather radio is on a constant loop about tornados to the north of me, hail, high winds and heavy thunderstorms in my area.

    A nice spring snow sounds relaxing.

    Pfft. Get the wind to blow at the back end and a sail, you will save a bunch on fuel.

    Believe that one, stick around and I will tell you another
    Seriously, stay safe. We dont want to find out how much the OM will dock you for laying it over

    "Won't you be that special someone who takes these tired, overworked, under trained, under paid drivers off the road and put them into the convenience store they belong in."
    "Step up today. And for a monthly commitment of only $8 you too can motor happily, and safely in your decision."
    "Plus, for the next 10,000 sponsors, we'll throw in this lovely and useful tote bag."

    I parked at a TA between two other dry vans.
    I love my truck and have zero desire to make that call to Dave.

    l don't know if any of you besides X1 Heavy will remember this about the Banning scale; There was a CHP with a Long Chrome Snapon 9/16" wrench sticking out of his back pocket. He would roll under your truck and you would have brakes out of adjustment every time. He did it so much that one day the Feds went in to the scale with a truck (brakes adjusted) and sure enough this CHP wrote them for brake adjustment. He was arrested and the scale was shut down for months. l remember it well as l was trucking east/west on lnterstate 10 during that time.

    Two roller dogs and a extra large super tanker of diet soda will run $6.00. Sure, you can have all the condiments you can slather, plus free napkins and straws*. That does not leave enough for pork cracklings or spray cheese and crackers.



    *(straws not available in California)
