Thanks. Will do. Would it help to use my flashers or no?

I have to go to a shipper and in my directions it says to make a tight right turn. I have only come across one really tight turn and I didn't make it. I had to find a way to turn around and come from the other way. I have only 2 hours to make it to this shipper (they gave me the assignment 12 hours before I had to be there and I still had to take my 10 he break) that is 105 miles away so I have no time to get it wrong. Any advice would help.

People are stupid. They don't follow the rules and then act surprised when it all goes south. I am a rule follower. At least I can say I was doing what I was supposed to if it does go south.

I was on no nicotine vapor. Halfway through my PSD training I was getting so much nicotine from him smoking I had to ask him to stop at a vapor store so I could get nicotine to add to my vapor. Now I am trying to wean back down to no nicotine. It's an awful addiction.

Thanks for the info. You know it's bad when they issue a statewide ban on all commercial vehicles.

I always set my cruise control for whatever the speed limit is. Getting a speeding ticket is not ok with me. So going through Indianapolis last night on 70 I set it for 50, which is the limit. All of the sudden a truck speeds by me blowing his air horn. I am thinking, "you idiot, it's 50 trough here.". Five miles down the road he is getting out of his truck looking all surprised to talk to the officer that pulled him over. You can imagine how big my smile was as I kept rolling past him going the speed limit.

I drove 587 miles yesterday to get out of PA and through Oh. I had 9 min left to my driving clock when I got to the first rest stop west of Indianapolis. At 4:30 am My weather alerts started sounding on my phone. High winds, ice and blowing snow through St. Louis. Heading to AR. Same exact route I was on when I had to shut down last weekend just going the opposite way. Frozen nuggets again. Lol. No qualms about it this time. I am not driving till these alerts lift. Got a big 10-4 from my FM. I just gave him the alert info I had, informed him I had enough fuel in my truck and reefer and DEF, and that today was not the day I was going to end up in a ditch.

Lol. I think I was just stunned when you turned around and looked at me and smiled. I had just woke up and was with my crazy trainer. You are shorter than I had imagined you, but no, you looked fine. I left saying, "OMG, that was Rainy!!!". It did make my day because I find you to be a true inspiration.

Thanks everyone. Once I got going it was smooth sailing. I will always trust my gut from now on. I made it 962 miles and am at my 02. No Ic e just a bit of snow when I first headed out yesterday morning. I just love you guys. You are real, but very positive. I hope to run into some of you one day. I was secretly smiling at Rainy once in a Loves. She was ahead of me in line. I didn't want to act like a crazy fan, so I just smiled as she made her purchases. Yep, she had her Prime "uniform" on. Lol

I am going to head out as soon as the sun comes up. DOT says some black ice but 44 is clear. Illinois dot says 70 is clear but watch for icy spots. Being light outside should help to see the roads ahead. And hopefully a little warmer. I am heading your way Rainy. I have 3 deliveries around Denver PA and York PA. Stay safe
