Trust me, I wouldn't ever laugh at the Swift mention. I know a few dam good drivers who work for them. Depending on what you want to do, there is some very good money to be had there. For as much flack as they get online, they are a decent place to work and have some excellent drivers. Now, that statement does NOT apply to the two brain-dead window lickers that were in my way yesterday morning when I was trying to get checked in for delivery. I got a real indignant response when I asked them to please back up so I could turn and make my way to receiving. I watched them struggle for (no joke) 10 minutes trying to dock before grabbing security to make them move. Best entertainment I've had in quite a while lol.

 

@Gremlin304 I made my second stop to Bruceton Mills Thursday. Those folks are giving your state some mad rep. Really nice folks, great stop. Check it out sometime. Little Sandy's is the name of the truck stop. Walk for about 1/4 mile and you'll end up in one of the friendliest dive bars I've ever seen. It's a very unique town. I love the people, I'm definitely a fan. Between them and the little truck stop in Beckley, I believe my opinion has been swayed

 

Lmao yup. Nice folks. I'll be quiet I promise

 

I just ran that road on Thursday. I use 522 every time I'm going from 68 to 81. I'm not going to lie and say it's awesome. But it's definitely not bad. The northern portion sucks. God help you if you hit that section when the school zone lights are flashing. But the rest of it is fine. I wouldn't take it after or during a heavy snow. But me and that road are for sure on a first name basis.

 

You're welcome man. Anything I can do for a fellow redneck. By the way, it's about a 40 mile stretch. It's definitely worth it. The first 4-5 miles are a little slow. The rest is decent. It's a small chunk of my full bypass around DC from WV and PA to get south, depending on where I'm headed. 66 and 17 are on my close friends list as well. Because let's face it, DC and Baltimore suck. I'd rather deal with Atlanta than those cities.

 

I'm starting to believe that there's something to what I've been told from some old dog mountain runners. After a while the roads recognize you, instead of the other way around. And they treat you like a friend because you run them regularly. I'm starting to get a bit of a passion for running the mountains, it feels like home. Not so much in snow, but duh. Nobody likes those days. But I believe my heart belongs to the hills. Never thought i'd say that. Kinda hungry to get back in them. Hopefully with a lighter load than my last one. See you soon WV and KY.
