    In Bald Knob :biggrin_25520: , AR at Exxon truck stop...Dropped at Walmart...Nice fast in and out D&H...Out of hours...

    I have to say, in 46yrs, I've never seen flooding like I did today in MO and AR...Parts of the road were covered and they were only letting one vehicle cross at a time...One road was actually leaning, I'm guessing the ground underneath was going away, wasn't crazy about driving over that but was glad I only had 15K in the van...I took some video will try to upload later...

    Seems like I was just there yesterday. That terminal is in an interesting location. I turned onto the light instead of making a turn into the yard: the railroad tracks made everything confusing, so I thought that I was supposed to turn on the light. Silly mistake on my part. :yes2557:

    In Denver CO waiting for the 3-6pm oversize curfew to pass so we can drive for 49 minutes before the nighttime curfew kicks in for Colorado at dusk. We'll eventually limp into Montana by way of Wyoming.

    Trying to be positive, but having a hard time justifying this load for a team...

    walstib ain't kidding about the flooding, crazy I tell ya! The scale was broke at the Pilot I stayed at last night so I started heading on my route, had my GPS route me to the nearest CAT scale. Ended up getting on some backwoods country road, twisty and narrow. About 1/4 mile up...yellow caution tape across the road. Stopped, got out...yup "Sheriff's Line DO NOT CROSS"...well crap. So I walked up the road a little and just around the bend....a 30 foot wide river 2 foot deep running across the road along with acquired debris. No driving across/through that! Backing 1/4 was sure a lot of fun! Ended up scaling at my fuel stop...480 over on my drives..good thing every DOT scale I came across was closed!
