    53'Spread, all of our pig wagons are single, dual, single also. It saves weight, less tires, and IMHO they get better tire wear.

    Sounds like you will be coming in off peak hours but I will still let you know that they are doing construction all over the place so give yourself a window. I 20 about 5 miles from the loop has 2 lanes shut down. Then if you are heading south on 285 there are another 2 lanes shut down at mm 5. It was a nightmare today even though it was the weekend. I 75 and the other end of 285 has work going on too.

    Buncha genisus's shutting down that many lanes around Atlanta metro

    Parked at the Roadrunner Travel Plaza at exit 156 on I-25 in Lemitar, NM. Going to have me a green chili cheeseburger from the Crane Cafe here. It's a good little restaurant. One of two truckstops between Albuquerque and Las Cruces. Burned 10.75 hrs between here and the Loves in Springville, UT. I'm tired. :)

    About 3.5 hrs from El Paso and some well earned days off. Done two resets back to back at the Tacoma Love's and haven't seen my kids since the 6th.
