Any predictions on road conditions. Curious about employee busses and I-85 heading south.
Can someone leave me a gallon of type IV fluid in the lounge so I can de-ice my truck?
Anyone been driving in this mess?
Thanks in advance. Cheers,

I'm curious too, I now have gotten a trip assigned on SC, deadhead no less. I was thinking about leaving 5 hours early and just seeing what happens. Possibly going to try Marta but also not thrilled about being stuck on marta, every time I'm on that stupid pee smelling train I get hit up for money and it's not where I want to be for 7 hours.
I've heard 285 is closed for all intents and purposes. Saw on facebook that it was an absolute mess with jack knifed trucks and abandoned cars on the highway and it took 2 hours to do a normally 45 min trip. We're still 5" of snow on top of slush and ice and 1/4" of ice on top of all of it. If I can't make it I'll limp back home and call but I'm not going to wreck my truck and deal with the insurance issues all for some dumb deadhead to a one leg back. No offense.
