I just spoke with my driving trainer, Victor. He has a dedicated run for JC Penney which apparently has a large distribution center in Spanish Fork, Utah, about an hour drive south of Salt Lake City. Victor called me from I-70 near the Utah Colorado border. Said it's been rough and slow travel over the night with avalanches and wrecked cars going over the Rockies west of Denver.
He has another student on-board now who he will drop off tonight at the school in Salt Lake at 9pm. I get on the truck at 10pm and drive us down to Spanish Fork to get the load, and maybe up over Soldier's Summit towards Price, Utah - a drive I've done dozens of times over the years on the way down to the deserts of Southern Utah. But never in an eighteen wheeler.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.
I'll be sure to catch a nap this afternoon after some yoga. Maybe just hold that "corpse" position for ninety minutes.
