    Oh, you have one of those trucks.

    Wait, I didn't talk to you in Drums, PA one day did I? Probably not but I did talk to a guy in a 13-letter #### spreader there, who had a Mobileye, who actually said he preferred it to the OnGuard because it doesn't hit the brakes. Anyway I was the tall guy with long hair and a beard, and I always have a ball cap on. Either my Crete one or my Boston (Red Sox) one.

    I rarely ever get to Drums, all I remember about that place is the line of trucks .
    I liked the On Guard, except for the unnecessary hard braking for no reason.

    I like the mobileye when it doesn't work,
    Not much happens in front of me, a suv lost it a couple of weeks ago, but my dashcam didn't save the video, I should have hit the little button twice. The quallcomm gave me a hard braking warning. but that's rare.
    Happy Flag Day

    I broke out of Lincoln, or got run off.... But not unscathed... this morning, more run off, but I left anyways,
    And on the most important load, alas, a load home.
    And as I enjoyed the evening 222 miles from home, I ran into someone from the same town as me,
    What a small world.... Life is good.

    Plus, I didn't eat the Bull Fries in Lincoln, I vowed to eat them the next time I'm in Amarillo at the 72.

    Ok guys, I am going from San Diego to Greenville Mississippi. I normally go 40 through Arizona and New Mexico but I see that the trip is the same number of miles going I-10 and I-20 to Dallas. Any reasons why I shouldn't take this route?

    Going via 40 avoids going thru a larger swath of TX...which is always a plus!!

    I live in San Diego and I run into this just about everytime I come off of hometime. There isn't really any reason to take 15/40 over 10/20. Especially if you leave SD on 8 and run to the 10 west of Tucson... That lets you avoid having to deal with the cluster that is the Inland Empire (Ontario/San Bernardino) AND Phoenix. Crete just has better (read: cheaper) fuel options running on 40. That's how it was explained to me at least.

    Waiting on my load info. I am sure it will be routed to 40. Just trying to decide whether I ask to change fuel stops and see some new scenery.

    By taking I 8 west to I 10, you'd dodge the entire LA metro area, right? That's the way I'd view it.
