    Heber is off the 31. Therefore there are three exits prior to mcrae and there is Cabot with 5 that also goes to Heber from the 16 exit.

    I have no idea if it is you specifially or some stranger. There is no point. It happened the way it did and there is no problem. I would have done the same.

    It would be a interesting meet and greet when forum members run into one another on the big road out there. Would prefer it to be under a less conflicted situation. The state police was kicking everyone off 67 that day due to a fatal or serious injury that requires medflight services. Unity Hospital in Searcy just recieved the first med flight helicopter 4 months ago to recieve trauma patients. But even so, more serious trauma is transferred to UAMS downtown and all burn cases go to Childrens in west little rock.

    We'll see you out there sometime. Once in a while you will find me down at the Petro having a proper meal in Galloway and I'll set a coffee for you aside sometime if that is what you like.

    31 is Beebe. 29 is the best route to heber as 64 crosses 5 at El Paso.

    I could see me with a trailer full of hot cattle making a lane change in a back up and not signaling. Hauling live animals isnt the most stressed job in trucking but it has it's days.

    thats not how it works. Trucker conversations go like this. I lie for ten minutes. You lie for ten minutes. Then we discuss our lies for ten minutes.
