    At that rate he will get his seat time in rested alone! Tho Windy.com shows 55F for most of next week. So I am sure he will be out before then.

    One time i went to pa. Think it was 3 years ago. They had that empty trailer/doubles ban up for 3 days . I was stuck after getting unloaded . It kept snowing and was supposed to snow all week. It is kinda hard to be an outlaw and say f the ban and keep driving when u have an empty flatbed behind u. Had like 100 miles to get out of pa. Had an idea. Saw some dude sweeping out his van in the back of the lot. He dumped 2 empty pallets , went over asked if i could have them. "There all urs driver" ... sweet . I took them back put them on my deck, and found some empty cardboard boxes in the dumpster, threw those up on the pallet with my tarps and strapped it down, and made out a bill of lading for it ....

    "We're loaded now, lets roll"

    Made it out of pa to our next pickup and kept on trucking..... In hindsight it was a good move to make because they had that ban up for the entire next week.....would i do it again? Yes , yes i would...next time i will strap it in the center of my trailer to give the illusion its heavy.... Do what ya gotta do to get her done.

    Have to give a shout out to PADOT. Their roads are beautiful today.

    Also our load to Reno was cancelled. BUT we now have a load from the same place going to Union City CA. So guess who gets to drive over Donner pass. This guy.
