    OR the detour isn't very truck friendly. I've grazed a few tele-poles in Ohio...

    That's fairly normal...... see below.
    Scenic route!
    WHY GOD!?!

    Heres mine. Was fighting mad...

    1. Carson, Ca to Suffolk, Va. A load of nike apparel that HAD to be there before 1600 on a Friday before closing and weekend.

    A tad over 2700 miles in 56 hours.

    Strolled in at 1430 on Friday and no one home. Gone at noon..

    Had to sit all weekend.

    Go head weirdos with your doubts. Done it... Not a big deal.

    2. The dum dum big elog co drivers taking a 30 in the fuel island. Or even better, taking a 30 and disappeared to the shower while sitting in fuel island.

    Other than that. I dont let much bother me anymore.

    stress is waiting 5 days for the results of a biopsy on a mass the size of a head of cauliflower inside your abdomen...

    Your wife finds out about your girlfriend, they become best friends and wait about 3 years before they decide to bust you .

    My friends , 3 whole years , that is a shot ton of deceit and lies to own up too.

    But it all worked out , they are still best friends , I'm still married and acting grandpa for my girlfriends kid by my brother in law , who is no longer married to my sister, who is knocked up by some guy who owns a gun store.
