    You're asking a lot.

    That assumes the dispatcher is capable of unwinding the string.

    My trucks are grounded since Sunday/Monday morning if they are in path of the storm, all of the drivers are in hotels with a couple exceptions who are staying in their trucks (they are loaded).

    I guess I'm too mean to think of their safety first.
