    The name of a place is pronounced how the locals say it. It's Lou-a-vull. That is all.

    Got pulled into a small weigh station way up in North West MN after I got loaded. Of course I was the only truck and of course the sign asked me to park.

    Level 2 inspection. No violations. Lol.

    Parked near Madison somewhere. Can't wait to get home.

    Around here if you ask where Shelby-ville, TN is people will scratch their heads and say they don't know, never heard of it. If you ask where Shev-ull, TN is though they can tell you. Lol

    I should have gone through the UP. Traffic is terrible around Chicago. Backed up from the I80 toll to almost the MI line.

    I don't wanna say I told you so..... I'd rather risk having to sit and wait for a repair, versus traffic. But I'm a country boy like that.
     
    Feedman and BoyWander Thank this.

    I can't fathom people being nervous about crossing that bridge. Its no worse than many others.
