last two days have not been fun...we started out in washington st...and we're only in South dakota....what normally is a 18hr drive has taken us 2 days...why you ask....ICE!!!!!...driving on ice in a car isn't that bad compared to driving on ice in a 18 wheeler...even with 30,000lbs behind you...i hit a spot of roadway on 90 that was clean. so i picked up speed thinking ok cool i can get some mileage in... boy oh boy was i wrong... i hit the next curve and looked in my mirrors to see my ass end in the left lane...thank god noone was next to me....obviously i slowed down after that one...we have done close to 800 miles at 35 mph...i've seen so many flipped trucks it scares me...

lesson learned...i won't be doing that again
