    Yeah, I'm doing tanker too, it’s not bad empty, but I'm loaded with 45,550 lbs of apple juice right now so not ideal for me, you slow down going on them mountains.

    Yeah, the mountains slows you down that's one of the point I'm making, less mountains, less time wasting.

    I've done that run many times..I know guys who even like to shoot out to Cincy then Nashville then Atlanta...That's a lot of extra miles and I dont care for those cities...After many trials my go to is 90w>77s>26w>95s..I like the avoiding traffic and I find this to be a great route...Just time Charlotte and Orlando...Don't care for 79 route as it's a lot off added hills and curves and traffiic...Slow mega carriers like Prime and Schneider can really jam things up through there...The 90>77 has barely any traffic at all

    I took I-90 to I-79, US-19 S then I-77. Man... I-79 and US-19 was crazy with them hills and curves... You meant that route or do you meant to go all the way west on I-90, then take I-77 pass Akron I-64, I-77 all the way down I-26 then I-95, cause it looks crazy up there too, I really don't like the mountains... LMFAO!!!
