Weather is something near and dear to the heart of every OTR Trucker. Why? Because they live in it. Unlike locals they don't get to home every night to a nice warm fire and a cup of hot chocolate. Boo Hoo.
Weather Channel is the old standby. I like 3 Day forecast since most of my loads take 3 days or less to run.
Interstate Driving Forecast is a quick look at what the condition of the interestate highways are at the present time. It also has a clickable tab for the next day.
Weather Channel 24 Hour Snow Forecast is something I watch. I don't like snow. Why? Because I'm a whooseyfied southern boy and we don't like snow. You can get snow reports for the Northeast region, the East Central region, the Southeast region, the North Central region, the Mid-Central region, the South Central region, the Northwest region, the West Central region, and the Southwest region.
About Me
- RollingOkie
- My grandparents were born in the Indian Territory/Oklahoma. My parents were born in Oklahoma, as was I, my wife, my children and my grandchildren. I was an irresponsbile teenager (it was the 60's, what can I say?) but managed to mature a little. I attend the University of Oklahoma and got a BA in History and went to work for a Fortune 500 company where I was unhappy. Eventually, I went back to OU for my MBA and PhD in MIS (ABD). I became a contract programmer because I programmed much better than I published. I also became a VAR for a firm selling accounting software written in a comupter language called dBase for the 8088 processor. I stayed at it and in the first years of the new millenium I decided I needed a change. I figured that if I was ever going to to do all those things I said that I wanted to do, I'd better get going. In 2005 I sold my house and business and went to truck driving school. I now drive a Big Rig - mine - and I try not to work more than 6 months a year. I make an effort to spend at least 3 months a year outside of the U.S. I'm married. My wife and I have 6 kids and 9 grandchildren. Maybe that's why I like to travel so much.
