    It's nothing that's serious. All people have to do is stay on the truck route. They shouldn't have their nose in the GPS. I do like that truck stop that's across from the Pilot that sells the Italian beef sandwiches

    No problem. I thought I would be smooth and follow the canhaulers out of the I-55 Truck Stop and take Hwy 53 down to Arsenal. Never again.

    Used to work at Joliet Dodge before it was sold off and later torn down. One of my aunts lived there for about 20 years before she moved to my mother’s. I remember when they were dealing with a predator that was dubbed “The Night Crawler”.They caught that perp after like 3-4 home invasions!
