Yesterday before I shut down in Missouri I spent several hours fighting through snow, slush and ice. My load is probably the best I'll ever have for such conditions: four heavy Caterpillar engines with a combined weight of 26,000 pounds sitting at the very front of the trailer box right over my drive axles.
This morning the temperatures hovered right around freezing. As I drove south then west they steadily climbed until the middle of eastern Texas where they hit 55 degrees. For the first time in a few days I can actually turn my truck off tonight and be fairly confident it will start in the morning.
