If you are going south, take hwy 62 in Imboden Ar. It's a left turn right before the bank sign with the time and temp.
Take that road to Pocahontas AR, and veer right onto hwy 67 south.
62 ends so you cannot mess up.
Take 67 down to hwy 63.
Be careful here the curve is very sharp. You'll see where others have crashed from going too fast.
You will now be on hwy 63 right by the Hoxie AR Exxon station.
Hope this helps you on the next trip.

Ok, I found it. If US 63 is marked truck route in the atlas, is every bridge on that route marked in the atlas by weight class and I just over looked it?
-
The only one that you need to be concerned with is the big one in Black Rock.
Just follow the route that I have you and you'll have no problems at all.
It's about 12 miles extra travel distance.bowhunter3714 Thanks this. -
Thanks, I'll have to look closer for a sign stating alternate route cause I sure didn't see one.
-
There is no sign for the alternate route.
The signs only warn of the weight restriction.
Hey, what do you expect, it's AR after all!bowhunter3714 Thanks this. -
LOL, your right, I'll have to look closer in the atlas, Thanks.

Hello Mr. Morris. Thank you for your continuing updates. They have been informational and quite instrumental in helping me understand the operation there at RBX.
I'm glad to hear that things are coming along in your favor. It was especially nice to hear how accomodating the company was when assigning you your truck. Congratulations! That is not commonplace in the industry.
I'm still in Kentucky but we are finally coming to an end here. In fact, we are close enough that I have been able to turn in my 3 week notice. My last day here is May 3rd. School will begin on May 12th and I'm looking forward to it. I have exchanged e-mails with Mr. Peavey in operations. I will be on-site Tuesday, May 6th to meet and discuss employment with him. This also I am looking forward to. There are 2 other companies, one in Michigan and the other is in Ohio, that I will be meeting with that week. My hope is to be able to get on with RBX, but a man has to keep all options on the table.
One thing I was wondering sir, do they assign you your routes and fuel stops there or is that something you include in your trip planning? What is the out of route percentage, if any? Would the shop install my power inverter?
Well sir, guess that's all for now. Once again, thank you for your updates. I'm glad that you're journey with RBX has started off the way it has. I wish you continued safety and happiness there. God bless and safe travels to you Mark. -
Shovel from what I understand they install the inverter for you but don't take my word for it. Speaking of which, how are they on idling if you wanna watch a movie, etc?
Shovelhead32 Thanks this. -
Thank you Mr. Fisher. I didn't realize their trucks had inverters already installed. The information you have provided is very useful and I look forward to speaking with Mr. Peavey in the coming future. Safe travels to you sir.

Jesse is right. Route and fuel stops come over Qualcomm and there is some variance with the route. I don't know what the out of route percentage is off hand. I just spoke with my previous Instructor about this subject this evening. I was on my way to Memphis and very heavy, he told my to take 60E to I55 S instead of cutting through Arkansas. I still do the trip planning, that's kind of slowing my down but I check the fuel route against the atlas and see if it quicker on the interstate or not.
The company provides the inverters. Mine is a cobra 1500 watt continuous, 3000 watt max.
