The other day I heard about an "old army trick" to help. Get a flexible metal hose, like one of those cheap dryer hoses. Crimp it around your exhaust pipe on your vehicle and a running vehicle. The warmth from the running vehicles exhaust will warm up the engine of the super-chilled vehicle.
Don't crimp it with a clamp, as the exhaust pressure will need to escape. Just squeeze it around each.
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I don't know if this is BS or a great tip.

In Sacramento CA. Is this a good place for a CV or is Reno NV better ??? Reno would be more fun to spend the weekend. Plus cheap rooms.

I don't know how much is posted out there anymore on Sylectus. I filter my Sylectus load emails by the states I'm looking for loads in. I have to constantly change it, like a few times a day, but it cuts the email volume down by about 90-95%.

Just spent a few days in lincoln. Shoemakers is a decent place to park. Good restaurant.

Thanks for the info. Just got a call for back to back runs. Lincoln to Memphis to Indy. Will have to bypass Shoemakers for now. Thanks again :)

Yes, I was there the last time we had that really cold spell in the Midwest. I did get a load from there, I'm just looking for a reason to visit Reno. LOL

LOL!! Here's a reason.
Hey Bill, a buddy of mine named Bill said you should go to Reno for a while this weekend. ;)
