    That one is tight but not as bad as the one in High Point a couple miles from the yard.

    I just got to Jefferson City Mo for my 8AM appointment. I usually run on in here the night before and sleep at the plant. They have always unloaded me the night before.

    This time it was snowing hard across the WVa Turnpike so I shut it down in Beckley right around 5 PM. That requires me to turn it after unloading today but should still get back Friday. It would have been before noon. Now a bit later in the afternoon.

    It was worth it not to have to deal with tailgating trucks and cars running 30 mph in the snow storm. The road was fine but lots of stupid out there.

    It is lol. I got in relatively quick, but then once im checked in the lady is like "you know theres a hold on this right?" huh? Apparently the COA wont be ready until tomorrow morning so my plan to load n go so I can get home Saturday is shot. I'm still relaying this off in Pedricktown but right now It looks like I wont have enough time to get there and then get home without doing a rest break-probably in ##### Mass.

    Also this was the first time I've been to that area sober. When I was in my early 20's I would visit the gentleman's establishments across the street there. Even knew a few girls that worked there and we would always end up over at Pops. Fun times.

    I'm unloading de-icer into a frac tank at JFK. It's pretty neat. Watching them deice a big plane is pretty wild.

    Passanger view. De-icer trucks. See the yellow bucket up front? A guy sits in there and controls the deicing. It booms pretty high.
