| Looks like we won't cross paths untill nashville. I'm routed through Chicago but I won't go that way. I'll go south and run 74 east into Indy. You are headed just a few miles south of Greenville SC and I'm going to SPartanburg which is the same few miles north of town but I'm being told to go 40 east out of chattanooga to ashville and run 26 south. The computer is sending you way south to Atlanta and back up. Not sure what the difference is when we are only headed about 40 miles from each other. WHich is better runing, 40 or 85? don't have much experience with 85 |

Microsoft Streets and trips as well as PC Miller both have him going thru Hot Lanta. They are trying to route him as much interstate as possible. I've been on I 85 a couple times, its not bad.

What the heck did you load in BFE Greybull that is that lite and small? I thought the only industry there was drilling mud. Drilling mud = heavy and cheap
