    Two weeks ago a had to sit for 4 hours on the highway while they cleaned up a fatality.

    Yesterday there was a similar fatality, but there was a helping sign letting me know the interstate was closed.

    I opened up Waze on my phone and it rerouted me. I usually don’t use waze because it’s for cars and can sometimes send you into a truck restricted area, but I could not afford to sit for several hours. As it was I still lost time from the reroute, but pulled up to the guard shack at the reciever at the exact minute of my appointment.
