    Plastic cups I believe. Anyway I couldn’t make the second drop, since they were closed by the time I got out of the first place.

    Sounds like a lumper load.

    I feel for any of y'all that has a load that takes you south on 65 to Indiana-No-Place and then east on 70. Construction cr after construction cf yesterday and today.

    This beer load is going to C'ville and even if I wouldn't normally go that way, I'm heading down 57 in the morning because eff Interstate 65 in its entirety.

    I've started using 57 up and down now after being detoured over that way because of a crash near Gary one day. Way more pleasant of a drive and not too much longer.

    Yea I dont know why anyone would choose 65 over 57 if given the option lol. Leave GA going to Menards go thru Chatty, Nashville, Louisville, Indianapolis, and Chicago or go thru Chatty and Nashville and never see another big city the rest of the trip?

    Just like leaving Trenton going to Wisconsin I alwasy go 70 to 74 in Indy run 74 to Bloomington IL then up 39. Screw that cluster#### of 65 and Chicago. Taking 74 over to 39 adds like 25mins well worth that time.
     
    JOHNQPUBLIC Thanks this.

    Yeah anything that can make my day easier and calmer I'm all for. I'd rather drive a half hour longer than be stressed out to save that time. Plus by the time you get thru all the back ups and crashes you might actually be saving time.
     
    MIT Thanks this.

    I've thought about running that but wasn't sure how much longer it took. I shall do it the next time.

    Lol I hate that. The other day in Trenton, the trailers were so close I couldn’t even crank mine without the handle banging the trailer next to it luckily I was able to pull it out because it was dropped properly.
