    The traffic jams i've been in are usually bottlenecks and eventually break open. This video shows people shutting the trucks off and getting out even sitting on the guard rails. Then they allowed people to turn around and drive the wrong way on the interstate to off the nearest location.

    So they were there for a long time not moving an inch.

    If I'm sitting for that long?
    I'm logging off duty, and taking a nap. The traffic beginning to move again will wake me up.

    Years ago I was a guina pig at my co for elogs (Qualcomm)...the company I was leased to had no perimeters in place for off duty driving .. One Sunday going thru Chicago I got hung behind an accident so I put it in off duty driving and forgot about it , next thing I knew I was in Omaha still off duty driving ...never heard a word ! And it went on for 3 mos before they finally caught on lol
