    If you were to haul across the country and have the least amount of headaches Southern CA to back the east-coast. What would be your favorite interstates.

    Which ones have the least amount of enforcement?

    Most truck friendly places?

    Etc.

    Well California roads are tore all the hell up with a 55 mph speed zone.

    Arizona & New Mexico pull trucks over left & right

    Texas will nab you if you exceed the speed limit by 0.25 mph

    Oklahoma, Louisiana, & Arkansas roads need to be flipped upside down to make em smooth again.....


    You get the point?

    Can't argue with Redd here--course most of the Interstate system is getting pretty tore up--BUT--is still go the old way across and it's only about 2/3 interstate--well maybe a little less--cause 1/2 the time I run thru the woods in PA too--LOL

    There are sections of I 40, 77 and 85 in NC that are smooth... I 77 through Fancy Gap is smooth, but you are ascending really fast. Hahaha

    Ok I agree with Redd too

    Trying to figure out how to say this w/out sounding like those cranky 'ol drivers everyone complains about--LOL
    I'm glad you are getting comfortable driving and realizing you can handle it out here--and still being safe--
    There that was nice right?:yes2557:
    Course what I'm thinking is;;try it when we ran 52(no 77 yet)# 80k--with no jakes!
    I know I know--be nice LOL
    All in good fun--
    Stay safe out there! Keep up the good work!
