Low bridge warning

In 'ordinary' times (no fake emergency), if I have a legal load going south from Baltimore, i'll just pay for the tunnel. With the traffic and mileage, it's actually cheaper than going all the way around.

 

Stay on 45 all the way to Edgebrook Dr and take that to your drop off, which I'm guessing is Dollar Tree.

610 bridge isn't anything bad. Just steep and a little ominous the 1st time you see it. But you don't even need to go that way. 45 straight through downtown. I like that spot, you get to see all of DT.

 

Id rather pay for fuel. My logic , atleast i know where my money goes for fuel. Dont care to buy the mayor a new mercedes with my toll road money

 

He essentially destroys the tractor.

I don't understand what he was even thinking. I can do a little bit with a 18 wheeler in extreme situations but only if there is pavement and no angle problems between one side drives, axles and differentals versus the other side.

 

Buy a McNally Atlas. Start by going to bed examining the area you are in every sleeper berth time. Spend about 10 minutes to memorize a littile bit the immediate area around you. Black lines, shaded lines, dot towns cities, big roads, STAA routes in particular. After you have had enough picture time, read slowly your current state's DOT information in the panel above the listing and maps.

Check gently occasionally for example section C8 might be listed as a 12 foot bridge on route such and such at a town of wherever USA.

Get a red marker and put a small slash across that bridge location when you have identified with it.

Do this regularly. Weeks months a year. A little slow soaking in the beautiful map page of the area you are in. It would help to understand the state parks, counties and so on for where you are going to bed at.

Eventually you will begin to remember in your mind's eye as you repeat a travel over a previously studied work area or route etc.

In time all that will be as familiar to you as your mother's old house and what roads and how far to get there.

 

Yea that route could put you on some "no trucks allowed" streets. And the only reason they're not allowed is because people don't want big scary semis in their stupid suburb. They do it because of all the container haulers in that area. Those guys are #######es.

Knowing that area, like I said 45 straight down to the road you need to be on.
