    think he's talking about the construction zones on 26 and 40 through the gorge.

    Right, that’s what I was wondering.

    "New breed" would assume their trailer is 102, because that is what's standard.

    And last I checked, 895 isn't an staa route.

    That’s what happens when people turn their brain off.

    A 96” will be flush with the drive tires. A 102” sticks out past.

    That’s how the cops spot them here at the Harbor Tunnel.

    Yep I will be heading through that area again tonight. Longer wait times if driving in the daytime. I will be going in the middle of the night so should not be to bad.

    I’ve been going through there a lot lately again and it hasn’t been bad at all. Worse than that was a construction zone east of the Gorge, almost in Asheville, on the westbound side.
