Yep. It was all rain until Toledo, then a rain/snow mix, then from the state line up 4 or 5 miles is looked the Detroit DeadWings practice rink. 20 or more cars off the side of the road or up against the barriers in the median. Road went from just wet to a sheet of ice in the blink of an eye. Wow. By the 275 split it was just lots of snow. 40 MPH mostly up 275. Ran by The Yard and dropped off paperwork, then headed on over to the cons, delivery in the AM.

I know I should be sleeping....Dispatch already called me on a load they were bidding on for the A.M. pickup, but it did not happen, yet. One of those nights I just can't seem to fall asleep.Of course, watching Top Gun doesn't help, either.....

you better get some sleep. Thats exactly how my load happened last night. It took from 10pm to 6am for them to get desperate enough to accept the offer...lol.

In Lansing. I-69.was crappy north of I-80, but nothing like Turtle described over there. I ran 45-50 up to the delivery. Worked out...but I'm oos until I see what it looks like tomorrow. I have to get to the yard for a qc replacement...mine died.

Be safe out there. I saw several in the ditch...on a "not so bad" road

I gotta give the night dispatcher guy credit, he sure is aggressive! He called me at 6am with another one. Other than that, all showered, meds taken, vitamins taken, breakfast eaten, and ready to go. A nice southern load taking me away from all of this would be nice...Laredo, perhaps...
