The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

It’s something like a 100 mile detour to avoid that tiny stretch

 

hey, I don’t know anyone who would do that there…

the ticket is $138 fyi - way cheaper than the detour I am told. The detour goes east to 77 north to Akron then south back to Columbus

 

more really

 

36 ain’t bad. Mt Vernon being the worst of it. Rather got that way than the southern route.

 

36 sucks at 128’ long….

 

Wow I recently went that way(detoured around Zanesville) took 77n to 36w to Ohio 16 to Ohio 13 south to 70. The worst part was after turning left on Ohio 13 in Newark, there is a roundabout that I couldnt make. I made it finally but, needed a few people to move.

 

yeah, most routes other than four lane highways suck at the length, I imagine


the pain you sign up for with that freight.

 

it is indeed. I just can’t figure out why it is safer to send me through all those blind 20 mph corners then it is to let me run through the construction with concrete walls on both sides to keep the universe safe from me?

a rhetorical question to be sure but one I asked an Ohio trooper directly- response : “Cause be the answer

so we end up doing a 4 hour detour instead

 

No radio
Eyes straight ahead for a mile

 

It's the thought that counts.
