Beautiful Country-Wrong Time of the Year




Sent into the mountains to the small town of Burney California. Beautiful ride as all the trees were snow covered and the roads weren't too bad, with only a few icy spots. The shipper is located about 4 miles off the main highway on a small one lane road I got to within a mile of picking up my load, when a loaded truck coming up the road slid off and got stuck blocking the road. No way for me or the 6 other trucks behind me to go anywhere for 9 hours waiting for a tow truck to pull out the truck blocking the road. By the time we got to the shipper, they were closed, and we had to camp overnight in their lot.
Keep on Truckin
