Yesterday I did them a "favor" at work and ran a rare (for me) Saturday load.
I knew the weather front was coming in so I took a chance that my 2am tank would be ready by 1am and thankfully it was.
I wanted to get ahead of the weather as much as possible and it worked well since I didn't see a trace of snow/sleet/freezing rain/slop until I got to the 2 mile marker on 78 in NJ.
By the time I got to the 78/287 split it was getting slick. By the time I got to Elizabeth to drop the tank it was slicker than owl shit!
It took me just short of 3 1/2 hours where normall I can do it in 3. The way back was even worse as conditions just got worse as I went and the trip took 5 1/2 hours!
Oh well......they are damn sure paying me for my trouble as I racked up 11 hours for the trip total and all of it was at time and a half. There ARE saving graces to taking an extra run once in a while.
