Be very careful I dropped one town to the west last night (Mont-Ste.-Pierre) and QC. 132 was covered with ice from Ste. Anne des Monts. to where I went. Also NO cell phone service east of Ste. Anne des-Monts. also make sure you fuel in Matane or Ste. Anne des-Monts. if you have a Diesel. NO SERVICES OPEN AT NIGHT ANYWHERE NEAR WHERE YOU ARE GOING!! Closest diesel is in Ste. Anne des-Monts and that is 40 miles from Mont. Louis(Mount Louie).

132 can get really bad this time of year. Watch for the waves as they come over the road and freeze quickly, it was -14C last night and the wind was howling. I was white knuckling and only doing 25mph for a long ways. Also QC. 195 was no fun either, it goes thru a mountain range and that was 40 miles of not seeing the roads and putting along.

Be safe, hopefully you will have dry roads.

Nothing you can do about the weather, just got to go with the flow. Had I never been up there or if it was worst I would of stopped and waited till day break, They understand the road and weather conditions up there and they do not want you wrecking your truck and damaging $75K+ worth of freight.

It was my last adventure for the year!! Looking for something to get towards the house now. Then 3 easy months of being the I-10 bandit :cool:

Looks like I'll be working this week over Christmas since the van underwent some repairs last week. Hopefully E1 will pull through for me. Last Christmas I snagged a load going to Miami, FL out of Canton, OH.

It's headed up to New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma from what I've seen on the news. Perhaps it will skip Kansas and you can just wait it out. They say the storm is gonna go away in a day or so and it will just be some light dusting of the roads. Any how, at least you have a red van. You don't have to worry about other drivers not being able to spot you if it gets really bad out there.

OOS for the rest of the year. Then maybe OOS until late March. I'll go back in and out just so they know I'm still around. I will, one way or another give birth to this stag-horn kidney stone! May be a C-section! This one just will not move on out.

Y'all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy & Safe New Year....yes I said Merry Christmas.

Just delivered a bit ago been raining a lot and near freezing but no snow or ice! The red van should be pretty noticable but people dont seem to notice much, those texts and emails are just too important to watch the road!

Going to head toward KC while you get me a load! :D
