    Four words-DC traffic and rain. Need I say more? Traffic was a bear heading up to Palmyra PA, but coming back...lets just say it took me 5.5 hours to drive 110 miles. 40 minutes to go 3 miles and get thru the weigh station and shut down. Only had 30 minutes on my 14 and figured I wouldn't get get any farther. Besides, I'm just on a DH move to drop my empty at plant #1.

    Hopefully, tomorrow will be better. Be safe everyone.

    I learned a long time ago to avoid DC like the plague if I am going to be going through there after 2pm. Another thing that helps me inn the cities is this app I found called Inrix. It provides real time traffic and so far has been extremely reliable. It has pretty much become habit when I get near a bigger city. If necessary, I come up with a plan B and go.

    Hate that you had that day yesterday. And yes, today will be much better :?)

    Down here in Arden, NC unloading an HP load to a warehouse. Two trucks ahead of me, so looks like I'll be here for a little bit. It's all good though. Soon as I finish up, I'm heading home for a few days of R&R. Plus I got to sleep in my own bed last night. (detoured via mi casa)

    Y'all have a great Wednesday
     
    RebelChick Thanks this.

    oh yeah quick question... If I am wearing a duck dynasty t shirt and a duck dynasty hat, would that be classified as overkill? I just sort of feel a little redneck today...

    Was in Biddeford. RM, thats where I just came from. Over in OH now with another HP load. Bedded to be ay Heinz at 3, don't think I'm gonna make out, haha. Called Harvey about the HP load and he said to call my FM first with anyquestions. I asked him who that may be and he goes "huh, you are one of the lucky ones' you don't have one"
