WIPE ON, WIPE OFF

So here I sit at the terminal. This morning I was on my way to the yard in the middle of a snow storm. Now with the wet snow and temps in the teens it is guaranteed for a truck driver to have to pull over every ten miles to clean the wiper blades. After my fourth cleaning my left blade decided to retire. Instantly my visibility went to zero. I managed to pull off and enter a parking lot where I waited one hour for a repair guy to jerry rig so I can go ten miles to the yard where they are now replacing EVERYTHING. At least the terminal has free coffee and internet.

I wonder why a truck manufacturer from Sweden doesn't have a better system for dealing with winter driving. Oh well. I leave for Wisconsin. Open drop and hook so no worries.

Sweetie, use vinegar on your wiper blades before you head out!
