    I get that, and agree to an extent, I live right off 80 and have been running this hill for 40 yrs and have a good handle on watching the weather and have decent sources for the forecast this one was just wacky. Not a stranger to throwing iron and running over lol last year i tossed iron 30 times. Hmmm reading this as I type it I'm thinking there is something wrong with me

    So staged up to deliver to the DC in the morning. Have a pre-plan already for another drop and hook from Sioux City Iowa going to Rhode island. That should be fun.

    Don't waste your time in Sparks trying for freight to Lathrop....just get over the hill....better running Donner mt than heavy. TEC is tight on the hours they have....

    Most likely what I'll do, got alerts set for the area to see if anything is dropping south since I'll still have days to get to Lathrop. Trailer just has to be there by the 1st.

    Remember.
    In the NE, ask because some ramps are weird, entrance ramp may be a few miles down.
    Providence isn’t bad, only place I ever unloaded at which furnished lunch, and Ice cream for 3 o’clock snack.

    Yeah. The first thing I did was pull up the weather. Trying to see if I would need to get an ok to divert around any snow storms.

    It's going to be my farthest east so far.
