    I'm at Jane Lew on 79 now, I would run 71 and 70 myself..... and 70 runs into 68 and 81. 79 and 68 are roller coasters little brother.

    64 is good running till you get to Charleston, WV. After that it gets winding and rolling..... 79 just adds a lot more miles in my opinion, as well as curves. Just my opinion.

    I use to run 68 before it was even known as 68, it was 40 / 48 back then with 2 lanes as well as 4.

    No one knows this story except me. Girl in high school was gonna do it. I caught her and stopped her. Long time talking and she was gonna get help. The next Tuesday she and her sister wasn't at school, twins. They were drinking and driving and got in a wreck. The one who wanted to die did. Her twin lived. That is a secret I've never told anyone. Before they told anyone who lived and who died I 100% already knew. I also knew it was pointless to share with anyone what happened that saturday night before. Almost 20 years ago. I can't even count the amount of people I"ve known that have taken there own life anymore. My opinion on it doesn't matter.

    Hmmmmm, wonder if I should roll I64 east to I77 north then... grab 70 and run that east until the split and take the toll road the rest of the way...

    I know it rolls pretty good on the 70/76. Been left and right across there grossed out at Melton with 78/79k on the money... wasn’t slow, per se. But was probably a little faster than the southern route.

    She ain’t no large car but at 450/1650 and only a little 30-31k of product she does alright. Can walk by the heavy reefers on a 4% with ease. Just don’t know if I wanna deal with “dragonflying” all the way across the rollers with everyone else trying to make time.

    I may just go to Carlisle instead of Allentown. That’ll give me like 200 miles to do Wednesday morning for Newark... maybe take a 10 at JFK and get off the big Apple in the early am if that’s what I decide....

    Maybe not but I got the mother load at the loves shop. Take any size you want as many as you need. Dont have to tell me twice.
    Ball stud done parted ways with the shock mount.

    MHC in little rock says 8am before he can get to it. I says it's a rental so I'll need another one. I ain't waiting for a truck that ain't mine.

    I did spy this sexy thing at peterbilt of little rock today tho.

    Cool 120k for 450k miles.

    64 shocked the Hell outta me. Pulled a big load east. When it breaks off of 77, there is a monster of a hill that can catch you unaware.
