    Narrow lanes with barrels... I'm not lucky enough to have a deerslayer on my truck, but I DID learn that a green scrubbie and Windex will take the orange off a painted Cascadia bumper..... Shop never knew. :)

    65 in Indiana has been home to lot of big truck wrecks lately. A couple fatalities in the last year.
    Poor planning and confusing crossovers, there was even talk of a lawsuit over the civil engineers, saying their plans for rerouting traffic flow was negligent. Not sure if that progressed any further than just talk.

    What's up with Texas unable to finish concrete road sirface. It's new stuff and still really bumpy, almost as bad as the old road the just replaced.

    That doesn't mean it has to be so bumpy. It's like they just pour it and leave it as is without smoothing it out.

    There was a random cone left upright through a construction area not too long ago (pointy triangle style), maybe dragged by the truck in front of me not really sure. Going through doing 55 sure as S if it didn't hit the my front bumper of my cascadia and popped a clean cut circular hole right through the dang thing.

    When I got home I took a piece of fine steel mesh, melted it into the back of the bumper and used black jb weld glue to cover it. It looks good but just the fact that a normal cone can do that to these plastic bumpers makes me so uneasy. Cheapness for as an excuse to weigh less, very shady business these truck companies have.
