    Yeah I’m glad it was only a $70 lesson as well! The trooper was a Sergeant, so pretty sure he’s been around long enough to tell when somebody is being honest or bs’ing. I was sure to be polite and professional as well, ie “Yes sir”, “No sir”, etc...

    I think I saw a sign for that dam. There was an arrow pointing to the side with a road name and it said no trucks and no vehicles over a certain weight. I can see why they don’t want trucks down some of those roads. If I had been fresh out of training, I probably would’ve hit something to be honest. Fortunately I have about 70k solo miles down and had the foresight to turn slow and wide! Even then it was a tight squeeze at a few points. From here out I will definitely be taking their designated routes. The oos delay made me late to my final delivery which kept me from getting reloaded last night, which in turn caused a 1500 mile load to be given away to another driver, and now I’ve got a 500 mile load instead. All part of the learning curve of this job I guess.

    Another is US 1 in NE of Baltimore. In the old days we used to run it as a total bypass of the tolls on 95. Which includes the Cononwingo Dam.

    I have heard noises that Maryland may not allow big rigs along that wonderful old road as they used to. Im just not current in that area. Happens to be my old stomping grounds etc From Big Savage Mountain Eastward. Ive gone on it for Fallston Maryland to pickup at a Nursery deep in a forest (Another story... about how a big road turns into no road at all... ugh...) Turn left at this tree. You see... wonders never cease.
