    All the states except for Maine, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. I liked running in Kentucky. I have spent most my time working in the oil fields of Utah, oh how I miss that place.

    The states I've never been to -

    Maine
    Vermont
    Massachusetts
    New Hampshire
    Rhode Island
    Hawaii
    Alaska

    I've never driven a truck through any of those, and haven't even been to any of those, aside from Mass, where I went during some funeral details during my time in the Army.

    NEVER BEEN TO NEW ENGLAND!!! You do not know what you have been missing--may I suggest a Friday delivery in Boston with a Friday afternoon p/u in Portland and then heading south down 95 b4 your 14 runs out?
    Man you are missing out on all the FUN!!!!

    I'd like to. Boss man doesn't like running the N/E.. says it's hell finding freight out of there. When I ran for Swift, I had a load of Sprinter vans delivering to CT... one to Hartford, one to Enfield. Had the best pizza ever in Enfield, too! But they had to deadhead me to the port under that bridge in Phila. in order to get me a load out of there.
    But, somehow, I don't think I'd want to do it in the exact manner you describe.

    Aside from Alaska and Hawaii, I've been to every state in the lower 48 except for the pacific northwest. WA, OR, ID, MT are the only ones I haven't been to yet.

    ..and you haven't lived until you've traveled I-95 in New England.

    That's easy. I've been all the way across Texas from one state line to the other in one shift and never even thought about getting sleepy.
    But REDD stole my trucker story thunder by giving up this highway. :biggrin_25522:
