    The worst I've been in is more hurricanes than I can count.

    In a hurricane you have tornadoes, 100+mph winds, lightning storms, thunderstorms, rain, flooding, and other things I'm sure I missed.

    I drove in snow from 20 miles out of San Bernadino CA to St paul MN, THE WHOLE WAY! 1800 MILES I-15 closed for a couple hours in of all places, Barstow CA due to spin outs, Then had chains on over I70 in Colorado, Blizzard in Nebraska, Ice and snow the rest of the way. Got to MN 2 and a half days latter. Then our next load was from St paul MN to Seatle WA, all in the snow, another 1600 miles, Seatle was a mess, wreaks every where. To top it off, this was all with a student driver with me. after we got to Seatle he was going home for 7 days paid,(half way done with training) I told him i was going to have to fail him, he looked at me and WTF FOR! I told him beacuse he needed training on dry pavment. We both got a laugh. Top it off, i needed chains to get though Portland OR, it was an ice skateing rink, and this was my trip home to Modesto CA after 5 weeks on the road training a guy. Then chains to get from Medford OR to MT Shasta CA. Needless to say, when i got home on Chrismas night,(should have been home on Dec 23, but weather was a Bi*&h) my girl handed me a Budweiser, i drank 1 and passed out for 12 hrs.

    Are you new guys and girls ready!:biggrin_2553:
