    regional / local with a couple years of 48 states. I've been to every state and just about every major city. Now I have bankers hours..or as close to that as it gets. I stay close to home and I'm only gone overnight or maybe a day and a half sometimes.. but not too often. I usually do turns and come right back.

    Nice... and you've been to all 48 states? Any crazy stories about the different states? I went with Dad down to Georgia (I don't think any further in the big rig) & to Jersey & NY:biggrin_25511:. He's went way further. I can't remember how many states he hadn't been to yet. Wow, still...48 states:biggrin_25515:

    crazy stories.... uumm.... besides the usual crap that goes on with the traffic and the weather, nothing really stands out per-say. I'm sure if I drove otr for many years I'd have a lot more crazy stuff tattoed in my brain. People are more aggressive the farther east you go. New York is just a mess really . The cross-bronx expressway is almost as if you're riding right through a bomb attack the way the roads are. I probably shouldn't use that analogy right? lol.. next thing you know.. well.. you know !

    Ok, any states you disliked as in mountains/bad roads for an 18 wheeler? Well driving in NY...ughh...don't think I'd ever attempt it. My Dad used to get sent out west in the winter all the time because the other drivers refused to do it.

    in Louisiana on I-10 all the time. I think it might be done now but I'm not sure. And yes, the mountains out west in winter can get pretty tricky indeed. Especially places like Colorado where the weather is very unpredictable. Bad roads...uumm......N.Y... Pa. has some pretty ruff ones too as I remember. I think I-80 might be a bouncy ride . Connecticut has lots of traffic on I-95.. very congested and annoying. I really liked the pacific northwest,,, real nice scenery !!

    Wow, how nice that would be to get away from here for a while. And we'd drive...no planes here. I buy a brand new Stang :biggrin_25525::biggrin_2559:...head to Hollywood:biggrin_25515:...camcorder ready, he he!

    because when you hit the big time, you'll need a truck driver for all your public relation gigs. And all the equipment too. We can even stick the new stang in the box while we're at it. It'll save you a lot of wear and tear on your brakes !! And keep the mileage low. I can double as your p.r. person.... with my big mouth, anything's possible !!!
