    I loaded a few weeks ago in Haw river N.C and went to garden city, and then turned around and headed to Salem Illinois.

    It was a fun trip. Hahaha

    You were lounging!

    No really, Atlanta is about an hour away from Texarkana, so I guess 3 1/2 to Atlanta would seem right.
     
    Opus, Speed_Drums, nikmirbre and 2 others Thank this.

    Ok, I'm not going to say when this was, but I had a family function at home so I had to get home! I stopped Wednesday night on I15 just south of Mesquite, NV. I stopped for lunch past Fruita, CO. I ran out of Hours when I fueled in Ogallala, NE. I drove all night and stopped at the rest area on I80 past the Iowa state line. I made it home to Chicago before 3 in the afternoon.

    The most I ever drove in a day was a ways...check that, it was a long ways.

    Scales? What I do with them is I kinda slow down and then I drive over them.
