Loads starting slow this morning. At least in the states I'm watching.
At least we didn't get as much snow as feared.

Loads could start off heavy...I am NOT moving off this sheet of ice and snow....these pick up places could be a nightmare...

Agreed, looks like I'm going to be sitting at home another day at least.

with this ice if they lose power, they can not generate a BOL and we get screwed....

Carry your generator in. Or run an extension cord out to your power inverter. Unless it's one of the that require linking up to "Mama Base" to generate the load info for the move.
yeah right....NOT my job.....LOL

If it meant my load was a GO, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I'm good for 400 watts of inverted power 75' from the dash of my van. Generator in shop so I'm only good for inverter juice. Threw in a 50' reel just in case.

Minus current drop for so many feet of copper. So maybe 200 watts.
Most of which started out looking like the Trailways Bus terminal, with ugly linoleum floors, wobbly tables & mismatched plastic chairs, and a not-very-good cleaning crew.
Give respect, get respect. Most people follow that pretty well - the trick is to catch the ones who don't, and evict them.
You're smarter than me: I delivered this morning near St Louis. Stopped for fuel in WV, and had to use the fuel tank cap to chip the ice away from the headlights. [Didn't break them lol] Roads weren't too bad, but parking lots were a nightmare of ice, and my padlock was frozen, even under the tennis ball cover. Hand warmers didn't thaw it enough, [didn't warm my hands, either, must have been duds] so I poured a potful of hot water [from the coffeemaker] over it, and it opened. I've put graphite and Motor Kote in it, what else can I try to keep it from freezing?

lol...........that works too
I wish I could sit tight and wait for warmer weather, or a load to where it is, especially because I have Reynaud's, which makes my immune system shut down circulation to fingers & toes when they get cold [so far it's always come back, lol] and for reasons unknown, it seems to think cold is a threat, and pumps histamines to flush it out, so my nose runs nonstop. And I get frequent attacks of the sneezles, [sneezing more than 5 times in a row] And my hair is so full of static I can't even brush it - aaarrrrgg!
Did I mention I hate cold weather?
But I hate the idea of changing my phone number to avoid bill collectors, so I have to work.

Answer for how to keep lock from freezing.
I knew that. In fact, it was the first thing I tried, but dispatch hears "Florida" as "Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, or Iowa".
