    Truck 2 sent me a message last week.
    " Got my Twix card."
    I was like, " So you going to buy those big candy bars they have at the TA now?"

    Well if this place manages to get me loaded inside of the next 90 mins I will be able to get down the road another 85 miles to a TS for my 10 hr break. IF that happens I will have managed to cover about 650 miles today, live unload, AND a live load... Which will bring the total since leaving Idahofalls, ID mid-morning Wednesday to about 2150 miles.

    And I never saw the carcass of whomever caused the epic back up on 40. I don't think it was a big truck, cause whatever it was crashed and burned in the median. I'm think horse or toy trailer with pick up cause they had the remains shoveled into some guys pull behind trailer. Big truck carcass takes a 10 wheeler dump truck.

    Here's the real irony. I almost went down 25 to 10 when I was coming down. Thought nah F it, it won't be that bad.
    LOL
    Full I-40 WTF carnage instead. There was another 40 minute back up about 30 miles into Arizona too. Construction zone- one lane. I'm thinking that was from the 12 mile back up getting the green flag finally.

    There's so much closed in Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska, we'll let you know when the spring thaw happens. Colorado keeps closing/reopening I-70 on the plains, knock on wood I-76 isn't closed, but it doesn't matter, 70 is closed west of Denver, 6 is closed, 40 is closed, 50 and 160 have chain laws, chain law is up Denver to Colorado Springs (coworker drove from Denver to Colo. Springs at 8 am Sat. to visit his girlfriend, left her place 8 pm last night to drive home, took him 5 hrs, almost all of it in 4wd).

    Nebraska has 80 closed west of Big Springs, Wyoming is now saying 80 EB and 25 SB will open around 10 am Monday, maybe earlier, friends son lives in Wheatland, Wyo., posted a pic on FB this morning of a 10' tall drift across I 25 and supposedly there are dozens of them south of Chugwater. 80 between Rock Springs and Cheyenne may not open till Monday night.

    I'm home isolated and quarantined (positive covid test on Thursday), but had to go out and shovel a path for my dog this morning, I've got 4" in the front yard, but my backyard is ringed by a 3' drift with a foot covering the rest of it.
