We got about an inch of snow. Went to leave this morning to beat rush hour in Indianapolis but the damn Pilot truck stop parking lot was too small and I couldn't get out without hitting the trucks parked on either side of me. And I could really only turn left out of my parking place. The guy on my left would not move, so neither could I. Had to wait until he decided to go. I went back to bed. About 2 hours later he pulled out, but he had difficulty getting out too. His truck and trailer were much shorter than mine and he was able to get out after several attempts. Then I pulled out. Still snowing. Fortunately had no difficulties getting through Indianapolis. Continued on to Decatur. Got sleepy on the way. Had to stop twice!! to take a short nap. Finally got there and loaded a Caterpillar 775G Dump Truck chassis that is going to Freeport, Texas.
By the time I left there I didn't have a whole lot of hours left. Drove to the Flying J truck stop in Mt. Vernon, Illinois for the night. Have to have an escort pilot car in Missouri. He will meet me at the state line when I get there in the morning.
