    Trying to make up for having to take over 2 weeks off to finalize the house purchase and move.

    I will be heading back out on Monday...

    But right now I think I'm going to hole up at Little America, WY... The winds are picking up to well over 40 mph and I only have 17k in the box. I hate to stop this close to home, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I will try it in the small hours of the morning... Need to make a drop in Ogden, UT then I'll be home bound.

    Sometimes the right choice is the unfortunate one. I know how those winds can be out there.

    I've been giving them your name.
    We get prepasses right out of the box and I knew that it was important to you.
    @otterinthewater probably isn't familiar with them as I'm told Western isn't eligible to run them.
    If he gets one, make sure you run down how they work and whatnot. He'll probably think it's the garage door opener to his new house. Sad, sad, sad.......

    There is no way I would send a driver on a load like that unless they had a good 26 hours.

    On a side note. I went to twon this morning and took this picture for this thread. Enjoy!

    I was going to amend the post that there would be a two hours for the driver to lump at each stop. Nah ehough damage was done above. LOL

    We didn’t have them at WE.

    Notice I’m not pointing at the prepass, but at the Schneider egg that crashed into the fence. I went over and asked it if it was ok since I could hear it crying. It’s just waiting for it’s replacement trainer and someone who will love him. I gave him your user name on here. Expect a call.
