Hey, Texas drivers....

The DFW area is the only big city I ever visited frequently where a substantial number of 4-wheelers on the big roads inside the big loops that are driving 15-ish mph under the 70 mph speed limit. Not driving slow due to traffic volume, driving slowly in a 70 mph zone with lots of space and 3-5 lanes to the left of the right lanes.

 

Interesting journey. May the return be more pleasant.

 

Back in 1956/57, Loop 12 was the Dallas bypass and US80 was straight thru downtown Ft Worth. Couldn't really run till you were thru the 80/180 split past Weatherboard. Interesting, was a big billboard advertising Weatherford as "Out where the West Begins.

 

While you’re down here and in Corsicana, hope that you will take time to stop by the Collins Street bakery there in Corsicana. They have some really good stuff and they’re known for their fruit cakes that are actually really good.

 

Seconded. Everything I've ever had from there was very delicious.

 

True.. I buy one or maybe two every year. Send to beat me to KY for Christmas and one for the staff here at the "home'.
Kinda like A K'isn the dispatchers, Vern....

 

Ya think they are experienced in the hazards readily available?

 

whatever your garmin trucking gps tells you to take. also, check with the news, texas dot about road construction, traffic and weather. always good to keep updated on road conditions before u leave and while you drive to plan the best possible route.

 

If someday you are lucky enough in Jan-Feb to drive through Texas when we get our annual half centimeter of snow, you will have the pleasure of experiencing driving along side 4-wheelers in the left lane, driving 40mph below the speed limit, with their 4-way flashers on.
