I worked in Shreveport for five years.

Mother-in-law lives outside of Memphis in Bartlett.

Father-in-law lives outside of Tulsa in Broken Arrow.

 
You gotta get a satelite internet hook up for the rig and keep hittin the board on your way through all these places......happy trails.

 
I'm about an hour and a half north of Birmingham, and about 2 hours out of Memphis!

 
I'm only about 5 hours southeast of Gary, Indiana. Give a honk next time you swing thru!

 
8 weeks? You gotta be sick of eatin' at Iron Skillets huh?

Heh.............actually, about the only thing I can eat at the Iron Skillet any more is the salad bar buffet. I can't hardly hack truck stop chow these daze, and I mostly use the old microwave and pack a cooler and eat right there on the truck. About the only time I go to truck stops is for fuel, showers, and to scale loads.

I think I'm gettin' too old to suck down them plates of grease at the Iron Skillet. /emoticons/default_wink.png

probably the most intense part of the whole road trip was going over Loveland Pass outside of Frisco on 70. I couldn't go thru the tunnel because I had a hazmat load...........my butt was munchin' holes in the seat all the way up and down!!! It was pretty wild..........snow boarders would shoot across the road in front of the truck!!!

Knoxville Tennessee here. If you hit the truckers' row on Watt Road, I live just a stone's throw from there.
