    That's bs. I've had happen you bust your tail to get there and make an appt time and the sleaze's wouldn't even make the 5 mile drive to work. Never again. Next time the weather reports say blizzard and old man winter actually delivers on the promise my truck will be found at the truck stop!!!

    Good on food, water, they have a bathroom there? If they're closed now they maybe for a couple days. You can always make parking at the truckstop but if you have everything you need I would stay it were me. Be safe dca!!!

    Last week when I got held up in Thubder Bay, ON by weather and closed highways.... I went from a Truckstop on the outskirts of town into town. I ended up giving a driver I didn't know a ride in as well. This was around 1:00AM I think it was. Anyway, the road in had not been touched at all. There was at LEAST one foot of snow all over except for tire tracks and slightly lower level of snow between the tracks in the direction we were travelling. I didn't get a picture but that sure was something.

    I've thought about that, only working half the year would be nice.
