Neal,

I'm in the middle of it. 30 inches of snow. Schools are still closed. Military bases are closed as well. But hey, I made it to work Monday and today. Go figure. The clean up crews did an excellent job.

And this was my God send for digging out. Nothing short of a work horse. I got it for free. They said it would not start. Pulled the carb and cleaned. Started first pull.

The guy who killed a man trying to help him get out of a ditch during the storm has been officially charged with murder! Lock him up and throw away the key!!

Thanks for the update, Chris. Nice machine, too

It's up to my judgment, they won't force us to drive if conditions are unsafe, probably huge liability issues, plus they are reasonable. That's what I have seen thus far.

My drivers are independent contractors. I can not force dispatch. I let the driver decide if they want to risk their livelihood in the snow or other weather events of magnitude.

Drunk person with a gun. What could possibly go wrong.

I wonder if there will be a call to ban alcohol? If this man did not have access to alcohol, this tragic incident would not have happened.

It's been done already. It didn't work and brought out a lot of guys with guns named Tommy.
