    Reminds me of old commercial, was a truck driver, they had two burgers, one picture perfect, other, soaked with grease, when you held it up, grease would run and drip from your elbow,the trucker picked it.
    When asked why, he said he could eat it and drive all night and still be able to taste it.

    Thats what they told us in swift driving school. In my exprrience its better to continue straight and find a big enough place to get turned around if you miss the turn rather than take the risk of driving down an unknown road that may or may not have a low bridge or some other obstacle that will ruin ur day

    Smoke is alot less dense up here in MT with all the rain the last few days... Kind of a mixed blessing though, moisture slows active fires but all the lightning probably sparked a few more.

    Probably not... We really dont have many loads that come this far north. But my bread and butter runs to SLC got post poned for a few days... Guess we ran them out of warehouse space.

    So since I know how to competently, and efficiently run longer distance... I have gotten the regional runs up this way.
