This major storm is about to rock NC and VA and possibly the NE. I hope all of all y'all stay safe during this storm. You folks know (or may not know) that I am a cop in SE VA and I will be working this weekend. Earthquake (minor here) in middle of week, hurricane at end of week, and a major swamp fire about 10 miles from me(6000 acres since last month)......whats next locust and brimstone?

Mother nature is not happy with this area. It has been a busy day on the harbor, Navy and Coast Guard have been moving their stuff all day.

I hope all you drivers are away from this area and if not, seek some good shelter and stay safe.

Send storm pics if you get em.

Take care, I'm heading West on vacation, getting out of town while the getting is good.

hope you blokes keep us updated on this storm

My dump truck is on standby for amtrack starting saturday night. Has to sit at the quarry till monday. Just in case amtrack needs stone for the rails. Paid by the hour at 90/hr. I put a driver in my dump truck for that. I hope to be busy with my vaccum tanker. I hope to make a couple Gs off this storm.

I hear Vladimir Putin is refusing to call his Jersey Shore vacation short. :thumbsup:

Damn if that doesn't sound just like an "Opportunist"!! :thumbsup:

I work for geniuses. I'm scheduled in north central Mass at 10am Monday. From there I go to Boston and drop down onto long island.

Any idea how I can find out if trucks are even allowed to cross onto LI? I've tried googling trucks or semis and hurricane Irene and long island I get tons of stories about truckloads of relief headed that way. So far "travel restrictions" isn't turning up much either.

Don't plan on getting onto LI Michigan. Coastal areas are seeing upwards of 8+ inches of rain, lots and lots of flooding.

The storm is supposed to make land fall south of Bridgeport CT. That is only a few miles ( going across the water ) from Long Island. Things may start to be cleared up by Tuesday if you're lucky.

Landstar has trailers loaded with supplies going to NC. They need trucks to power the loads.
