    I've often wondered how frequently someone heads down one of those frontage roads that leads to a DE.

    I've tried NOT to wonder how often those that do try to cut across the divider....

    I took pic. truck Didn`t make it. Even has his flashers on. I was gonna try and pull him. Realized it was prob only gonna happen if he was pulled from behind. I thought about actually helping, then realized there was nothing I could do.

    That sucks but I gotta laugh. I'm pretty sure I've tried all the completely ridiculous things I'm gonna try, and came out of it unscathed.

    But I seen a JBHunt driver do it! :)

    I'll never forget, I got in a back up there and a Barr Nunn driver told me to follow him. A cajun from Jackson, TN. He took me about a mile north and turned and we run right around it. I really appreciated that. I forget it's like LA1386 that runs parallel east of Baton Rouge. West of Baton Rouge you can run US190. A couple months later I went down I-40 past Jackson and yelled at him. He answered. :)
