    20 degrees here this morning, got a winter storm watch for tomorrow. Could be the first real snow of the winter, 5 to 7 inches is the forecast now. Wednesday afternoon to Thursday morning. Thursday morning will probably be the worst of it. I'll go pick up my snowblower from the storage bay today after work. I haven't used it in 3 years or more.

    Good morning driver's. So we moved a step flatbed yesterday, we lifted it at both ends and moved it about 10ft. It was in the way of the 20ft bundles getting thru to the river station in shantytown.
    Rain is expected today and tomorrow, they are talking about flooding :eek:. Just what we need after Helene.
    Hope everyone has a great day and be careful today.

    I go on the 27th. My CDL and hazmat expire on May 5, but going in early and dropping hazmat and filing exempt interstate since I'm not using my CDL currently.

    Good man.

    Man it took me forever to get the snow cleared off the truck this morning and then another half hour dumping air line antifreeze into the lines to get the trailer to air up and release the brakes. Going back into the deep freeze for the next few days, lows around 1 or 2.

    Good morning driver's, hope everyone has a good and safe day today.
    Sketchy ride into shantytown yesterday, we had that dry snow on Sunday and the first hill/mountain I had to cross was all ice.
    Wednesday morning is supposed to be a snowy ride in too.
    Come on spring.

    It's 5 degrees right now, might drop another degree by sunrise. Left the truck running all night so no start up issues this morning.
