I just got the call from my dispatch, I'm shut down! AW SHUCKS and I'm at home what will I ever do?

Yep!! :lol: My wife has been in the hospital for about a week. She just got home today. Were it not for that, I would probably be stuck in the middle of this stuff. I plan on hanging out for at least a couple of days with her. I may not get out until the first of next week.

You need to call up your dispatcher and demand that they allow you to run. Tell him that you are a professional and demand to be treated as such! Tell him that you refuse to be shut down at home. Demand that he allow you to go to a truck stop and then shut down. :rofl:

Fun day - damn... Delivered in Wheeling, then deadheaded to Lima. Just northwest of Marysville it started icing up the truck. Got to Lima to pick up my trailer and ran into problems. I couldn't see where the edge of the parking lot was and dropped a steer off of it - maybe 6-7" drop. Took a towtruck to get me out. So, after I swapped trailers, I drove 1/2 mile and parked for the night. I just hope I can sleep - the snow/ice/sleet is LOUD hitting the truck.

I have been doing some taxes and getting paperwork filed while I have been off with her. At least I accomplished something.

Seriously, I am glad that you are off the road. Your truck may pick up a couple thousand pounds of ice before this is over.

I appreciate it, repete. It has been a bit tough for her the last couple of months. She has had 10 hospital visits since the first week in December. Hopefully, this will be the last time for quite a while. You are probably right about her kicking me out.
