    A seven hour wait here at US Foods, in Zebulon NC, but was logging a break here anyway. This place is across the street from the Carolina Mudcats baseball stadium. They sure have kept it up nicely. Came here 20 years ago or so when they opened thr stadium. Their concession stands were trailers. But I digress. Sure am glad I am getting away from reefer. Hope I don't regret that statement. I know why reefer companies take newbies. It weeds out those who refuse to sit and wait. It tries your patience. Rest assured, if I go reefer again, a hard and firm detention policy is in place. I have paid my dues or would like to think so anyway.

    ROAD CLOSURES IN OKLAHOMA DUE TO FLOODING

    I-40 IS CLOSED FROM MM 53 TO 60 BOTH LANES
    I-44 FROM TULSA TO OKC IS NOT CLOSED BUT HAS FLOODING
    I-44 FROM CHICKASHA TO THE WEST IS FLOODING WITH VERY HEAVY RAIN
    US 60 IS CLOSED FROM I-35 TO 2 MILES WEST
    MANY STATE HIGHWAYS ARE CLOSED DUE TO FLOODING

    IF YOU HAVE TO TRAVEL IN OKLAHOMA OHP IS REQUESTING DRIVERS TO WAIT UNTIL THE WATER RECEDES. IF YOU CAN WAIT 24 HOURS IT WOULD BE BEST BY THEN THE ROADS SHOULD BE OPEN
     
    passport220 Thanks this.

    Good evening Voodoo Man. I have heard good things about Legal Shield from drivers and their reviews online seem to be good.
    I think the difference in pricing is determined by whether this is for general legal help, (real estate, personal, etc.) or specifically for OTR drivers by someone familiar with DOT regulations.
    I hope this link will work -
