    I will be rolling thru about 2 am so hoping its not to bad. I see the way you mentioned, now that im looking at the map. I trying to get down to atlanta which where my delivery is in the morning.. There is way to many roads down here. And seems they all suck about the same

    Even at 0200 Nashvill can be a nightmare... I would take Exit 43 to 155 East and ride it all the way around to get back on I-24 south of Nashville. It's a pretty peaceful drive at that tine of morning.

    Lol... Its been over a year since I been back that there, I dont miss it much. But I DO remember trying to figure out the best ways to get around bad traffic areas. My basic rule of thumb, East of the big river... ALWAYS take the bypass.

    Honestly, and in fairness, it all depends on where the tire is at the time. If it's on the bottom, it looks like a perfectly fine new cap.

    So, supposed to unload tomorrow in Memphis TN, reload is New Madrid MO…

    20 miles out of way to go home.
    Just walked in the door, they call and said Specialty feed is closing tomorrow and Friday for repairs, they normally close 1530(why i went home)

    Give eta they gonna unload you tonight.
    Monday 0800 is my dentist appointment, so gotta get this done.
    then may as well go to new madrid to load, then it’s only another 400 mile to that destination.

    So i got to walk in the door, say, “Hi, gotta go, see y’all later.”

    Isn’t trucking fun?
