Roehl Driver Check In Continued

Heading out to Illinois this morning. Time off flew by... though was kinda short anyhow, LOL. Oh well. Least my Car Garmin finally took a map update. Feeling psyched about that one Also bro in law took a gander at the electrical wiring to CB. Looks like someone did a poor job of wrapping wires and the hot grounded out. Fixed that, so a new CB shouldn't fry. Getting a lender from the inlaws in bout a week.

Well, time to roll.

 

Taking a 34 at the Gary terminal. Burned about 3 hours crawling through Chicago on my way here yesterday evening, now I don't have enough left on my 70 to get back up to Minnesota. Gotta love it. Still no showers here either!!

 

I did chicago rush hour earlier this week was loads of fun. Coming from saukville, hit chicago about 430 wasted 3 hours to get to Gary.

 

Just parked my newly issued 2013 Prostar at the Appleton/Neenah terminal. Is that ever a huge improvement over the old Kaukauna terminal that I drove out of last time.

First day back in the saddle and my D/H turned into a live load and ran out of hours. Spent the night at shipper in Wis Rappids. Now I'm home. Will start my 7/7 rotation on Wednesday.

 

Can any of you tell me which GPS will most closely match the Roehl routing?

I used to have a Garmin Nuvi truck GPS, but when I would try to put all of Roehl's "special" routing in as via points it would only show up to the next point, not the whole trip. Are there better ones available now?

 

Flying J I70 X 122 OH

headed to IN since the relay to get me home fell apart....big surprise there lol

no biggie

no gps will match the "speshul" Roehl routing

I have a rand 720 and love it, once in a while it actually does match the route!
