Finally added most western states to our driving history

Maine is nice. If you're there in September, there's a pretty cool fair that goes on in Unity. It's got a ton of local products and courses on different subjects.

Congrats on CA, OR, and WA. You got the communist region!

 

Where do we order the Hammer and Sickle acheiment patch ?

 

I got my CDL in 2022 and never got much further west with my first company than I-35. Got with my second company and now I can say that I've driven through 36 of the lower 48. I never got into the Northeast, MI, MT, NV or either of the Dakotas.

While I wouldn't mind seeing those western ones I missed, I'd be just fine if I never went to the Northeast. In fact, I'd be happy if I never stepped foot in eastern time again. Being a local driver now helps out a lot with that.

 

The only lower 48 state I haven't been in is Rhode Island. I thought about going through there on the way back from Nova Scotia just to check it off my list but would have had to go over the GWB in the afternoon so I didn't want it that bad. Been to all of the Canadian provinces except Newfoundland Labrador and Prince Edward Island. Haven't been to the Yukon, Northwest Territory, or Nunavut. Doubt I'll ever get up there. Favorite places: Wisconsin, Upstate New York, US-93 Nevada in wintertime, Canadian Rockies.

 

@JC1971….next time ifn ya wanna do it…drop in on 95-hit 295..,take 6 back over to 84 miss GW or right time a day go all the way to 287 just over NY line and run that around…there’s a few others also
As for this ol fart…Nova and PEI missin(if u can call it that) along with NW Territories and Yukon in a big truck along with Alaska& Hawaii lol
Been to all of them on a motorcycle tho
Cept Hawaii…I don’t swim well

 

Probably just not good with geography.

NH, ME and VT are probably 3 of the best states in the east.

Me, I've been to all the lower 48, and Canadian provinces of BC, AL, SK, MB, ON, PQ, NB and NS. Privately, I've also been to Newfoundland and PEI, as well as Baja Norte and Chihuahua.

Strangely, the last state I got to see was......North Dakota. Probably because there really ain't much up there aside from Fargo and Pierre. That same trip I also crossed MT ALL_THE_WAY across it; wow, what a LOT of nothing!!! Bigger than Texas!

 

@Ex-Trucker Alex
Might wanna ck that….Texas is over 100k square miles bigger than Montana and almost 250 miles wider and the only Pierre I can think of is in Sourh Dakota

 

Now that I pick where I go, I stay in the middle, between the mountains.

The only states I havent had a truck in are Hawaii, Commiefonification (I dont have a passport to that place), Arizona, Nevada (I had a load going to Vegas once that would have put me through Az and Nv but the truck broke down and the load got pulled), Rhode Island, and Vermont.

The only states I havent been in (not in a truck) are the last 2.

The only reason I was in Delaware is I made a wrong turn and had to go across the bridge to make a u turn to go back... And the only reason for Maine was to go for food (I was right on the border). GREAT seafood. Right on the docks...

 

I just did my first trip to the west coast last year after 17ish years running north east regional/local
