    Not that long, if memory serves me, it was only 17 miles extra from load to delivery. Used to run that route all the time.
    Usually about 12 hours drive time.

    17 miles and better than 2 hours.

    95 is a complete roller coaster off of 40. 62 through Parker is beat to #### highway, with lots of 35 mph limit traps watched by the mounties.

    Guys go that way if they don't want to temp fate with the coups of the communist state.

    I have a general rule to never park at chain truck stops. Especially Pilot. Broke my rule because I wanted a Big Mac. Now I'm blocked in, and after eating two big Macs will likely crap my pants to boot. I can't even comprehend how people find it acceptable to park like this.

    If your going to be closer to 99, take that. you can save a few miles and a few minutes.

    I was loading from one of two places in that industrial area just west of the 5 and 80, so 5 south was faster to get outta town.
