    Congratulations on your achievement... :yes2557: Hope you guys enjoy your new routine... But like Mr. BD and Mr. FatDaddy said, there are other things to consider when running on I-40 during the winter. I think folks in the south don't keep the roads in good condition during winter... :biggrin_25512: But neither do folks in Montana... :biggrin_25523:

    Here is where we - 4 other fellow co. drivers and I - parked last night...

    [​IMG]

    At a university campus in NJ... :biggrin_25519: Nobody bothered us... :biggrin_25512:
    This morning we met with event sponsor, organizers, our co. rep, photographers and other folks... After a session of pictures, we split... Another truck and I went to one location for our delivery and the other trucks went to another location for their deliveries.

    We - the other truck and I- had a escort vehicle that guided us to there... Although I knew where we were supposed to go, escort gentleman wanted to make sure we would get there with no problem... All the streets were very narrow, with vehicles parked on both sides, low branches, tight turns... :biggrin_2552:
    The street with the "DO NOT ENTER" sign is where we had to go to get to tinny parking lot for delivery...

    [​IMG]

    And after delivery, escort guided us to major highway... We were going to take truck route but he said there was a "much better" way to go... and it was not restricted for big trucks... Yeah.... Right... We had to follow him at 15 mph all the way to highway and my gps kept showing one restriction after another... :biggrin_25523:

    Now I am conveniently parked at a service plaza in NJ about 20 miles from my next pick up on Monday...
