    Just a reminder as to how dangerous our job is...drove the night from wed to thurs in a deep fog on i70 and i76 across PA..it was scary...as I'm getting close to Phily a crazy scene of 3 cars and a van started spinning out in front of me, I don't how I was able to stop this 75k lbs machine and avoid what was going on...makes me think if this is the right job for anyone..

    I'm off 74 in il. Short weekend run, only 2400 miles from Florence KY to tangent OR. :p

    Here's video I took last winter. Myself and the truck in front of me were the only ones not involved in this 50+ vehicle pileup on 80 in wyoming.

    taking 44 to 35 instead of us69 route, dont like it rather stay on interstate.
    might do a reset here and do the rest monday mornin 180 miles
    havent made up my mind yet, but there isnt many places by my cons right outside dallas

    plus if i do i can walk into okc like i did last time i was here
    good amount of places to hangout and take a uber/cab back
