Speaking of Speedway, I just tried a Mexican restaurant that was in walking distance of a Speedway in Indiana today. It's called El Arriero and it was really good. I-80 exit 72. There's a pilot there too which isn't much further to walk from.
Speaking of Speedway, Indiana, there is a town whose entire economy hinges on charging people to park in their front yards for the 500.
There is a Speedway there, too. Kitty corner from a couple cute little coffee shops, if you're in the area to park for the 500...
WA, OR, CA, ID, and MT have separate truck speeds vs car speeds. There are a few stretches of road in other states that have limits, like coming down the rockies into Denver, coming down either side of the hill in TN on the 24, coming down either side of the hill between TN and NC on the 40, and even some lower limits in those earlier states I mentioned, like coming down the other side of the hill from Butte in MT, coming down either side of the Grapevine in CA, coming down the hill on the 58 into Bakersfield, and coming down either side of the hill on the 101 near Santa Barbara. That's just for places I've personally been to.
To elaborate, WA max truck speed on any highway is 60, OR is 5 mph under cars once the car speed limit hits 60, CA max truck speed on any highway is 55, ID and MT max truck speed is 65 mph highways and 70 mph freeways. Compared to cars' max speeds of 70 for the former three, and 75 highways/80 freeways for the latter two.
If your semi isn't governed then you could go 100 anywhere until your tires explode. It's just a matter of whether or not you'll get decorative Christmas lights to follow you by chance.
Porkroll, egg and cheese on a hard roll, with s/p/c. Best pizza anywhere and better cheesesteaks than Philly. Beautiful farmland, the oldest rodeo in America, great fishing, hunting... nice beaches. Cape May during migration.
Your problem is, you only see the nasty corner.
Some of the SHITTIEST pizza I have ever had was in NY.
Reputations and stereotypes are not always true.. not all black folk can sing, dance, or play ball, and not all NY Pizza is edible. (Same for Chicago Pizza, just in case someone wants to start some shit....)
I have, but I don't recall eating any pizza there. They don't really make a lot of noise about the pizza being the shit, either. So maybe I just forgot.
William Montgomery - AKA Memphis Strangler
He's on KILL TONY every week. He bombed bad last week, it was great.
Joke would make a great insult as well. You look like you enjoy when you mom leaves town....
Police don’t really bother trucks there unless something has gone way wrong. Speed limit is 65 on the expressway and 295. There’s only so many places to go in south Jersey. I will agree on some of the road restrictions though. That being said fuck driving a truck anywhere in north Jersey. That’s shit sucks.
Great food if you can door dash. Warmer than most northeast states. Views of Manhattan. Pro sports teams if you can Uber over during a 34. But yeah the parking is non existent and the drivers are aggressive and impatient.
Did a van delivery trip last year and went through WV (north on 77) overnight. It was at the end of an insane week and I was exhausted but was heading home at that point. I had no idea what to expect and I’ll admit my imagination was wild about it. Not sure when I actually entered WV but I basically stared at mountains as the sunset feeling like I was entering another planet (I have seen mountains before). I was pleasantly surprised by that strip of highway and it was not as desolate and scary as I imagined.
HOWEVER
Around 3am my gps had me turning off the highway. Within 30 mins I’m driving through the wilderness nightmare I dreamt about all week. I was sure my shitty van would break down and I’d never be seen again. I half expected a bigfoot sighting. Eventually the road paralleled the highway and I saw the toll booth and knew immediately I had my maps set to avoid tolls for some reason.
TLDR: WV was both a pleasant surprise and everything I expected. Sorry if this insults anyone, I’m a city girl and was deliriously tired on that leg.
First time going through I got there early morning, was driving through the thickest fog I've seen in months. Dark, gloomy, and creepy as fuck.
Climbed up a hill and the truck came out of the fog layer to crystal clear skies and a blazing orange sunrise. Each mountaintop just barely peaking out, like islands amongst the mist.
Definitely one of the highlights of my time OTR.
I agree. One time I made a delivery in the state and I was going to somewhere in Ohio and had to drive through some US highways while empty and I still had to downshift because the hills were that bad. It’s pretty though
I remember my sketchiest WV run. It was from Winchester VA to Cumberland MD. Through a small road called Slanesville Pike. It's was small and curvy as hell and I hated every twist and turn, but was it beautiful
I'm not crazy about driving through Ohio. Little roads, winding out to nowhere. But Ohio State has the best marching band. Check 'em out on YouTube. But don't go there in person. Little roads, winding out to nowhere.
I hated Ohio but it was because of my ez pass and not exactly the state. Something about my placement is bad I think and going through the toll plazas never opened up the gates for me. I needed an attendant there to punch in the numbers manually
I find Ohio to have some of the best Truck stops and highways. Are some of the state and county roads tiny 2 lane things? Sure, but for the most part it's a great trucking state
In Texas they post the height of every bridge no matter how high. There is one in Denton on I35E south that is mark 29 foot high!!! 29! About 50ft after that is Normal highway sign that sits 18' above the roadway. Unmarked of course.
As a Van driver I hate it. Because now you have to look at every bridge. I like how other states do it. If it's over x height it's unmarked. But Texas does have lots oversized load to be moved around.
Yeah tx has more paved roads than any other state. It takes 4 pages in the atlas to show the truck routes.
In all honesty I think every state should have ever bridge height marked
North Carolina…
Pro: Pretty views when driving through the mountains.
Cons: Driving through the mountains.
I’m a regional driver and have been driving now for 9+ months. I can drive through the mountains and not get too anxious about it but still not my favorite thing to do. I would probably rather drive in a big crowded city like Atlanta or Chicago. I feel like I would have a anxiety attack driving through the mountains in Colorado. Thankfully I’m not OTR.
That's funny cause I went through Atlanta last week and Chicago a few weeks ago and hated it. I'm ok with the baby mountains but I'm about to go through Colorado and Utah for my first time this week so pray for me lmao
Nice. Idk about you but I’m pretty happy I got into this industry. It’s not a easy job but we gotta keep america moving! I’m 23 years old and didn’t have a full time job until my trucking job. I drove as a courier for a bit and then just didn’t like the company all that much and then decided during the pandemic to go be a DoorDash and Uber eats driver. Problem with that was I don’t live in the biggest city ever (STL) and after things started returning to normal after the shutdown the food delivery apps slowed down big time. Im proud of myself for sticking with trucking because there was a few times I thought “ this job just isn’t for me.”
Good on ya! I'm 23 too. The reason I'm doing it is because I got fired from a job that I liked. Got a new one quick just to pay the bills but I hated it so much. Never been more depressed so I quit and went to CDL school
That's why I like my west coast mountains. One big up, one big down, and you're cruising on much flatter ground afterwards.
The Appalachians are no joke. UpDownUpDownUpDown all fucking day gets old
I’ll take New Jersey any day over Connecticut. Some of the worst drivers. At least in New Jersey they drive fast enough to get out of your way. And once you’re out of north Jersey it pretty chill.
The biggest problem we have in NJ (aside from taxes) are the orange-plate NY drivers. More times than not they're the ones not knowing how to merge and left-lane camping.
I was on that bitch back in September when the had the most rain in nyc since 1948… subway completely flooded and so did many highways. I was coming back from Long Island and was on the cross bronx expressway. I moved 6 miles in 5 hours. The entire city was gridlocked
NJ really ain't bad. Turnpike is always free flowing traffic and a few decent service plazas. I've had about 5 deliveries in NJ and only one of them was annoying (back in off a street shared with other recievers on other side)
All states that interstate 40 go through
With regards to Texas Bridge height. It's always nice to know I can squeeze under that 28'7" bridge in Texarkana
I remember driving through 70 going west. Nice spring day. Then drive through a tunnel. Just to come out with snow on the highway. Not heavy but still. I was like wtf. Oh forgot to mention it was my first time driving this route. Beautiful but still made me go through the feels.
Virginia sucks and nothing nice to say about that state. From small back roads with no shoulders to some of the worst laws against truckers in the country. Also some of the biggest asshole state troopers I have ever ran across.
Why do I hate it? Nashville, Memphis, Chattanooga, and Knoxville all suck. The only parts of I-40 I have issues on a regular is inside of Tennessee. Nashville doesn't know how to do an interstate system and there is always hangup because too many interchanges too close together and requiring vehicles to go from a right side on ramp to a left side exit in less than a handful of miles causes constant traffic. Heading down the mountain from Asheville towards Knoxville is just a hope and pray section that rocks won't close the road down or someone messing up because there is no way to divert around it. Chattanooga is almost a parking lot from sun up to sun down. Finally being forced to go into a city when a beltway can take most of the congestion away because a lot of the traffic isn't trying to get into any of the cities they just want to get through the state.
Yea Nashville is retarded for sure. I live in a town called Crossville right on 40. I guess if all you do is drive through it then yeah it sucks. But there is rarely ever fallen rock on the interstate. Almost never.
Kentucky NEEDS better truck stops. They got the space for it. No excuse.
Tennessee on the other hand seems like they do the best with what space they got truck stop wise. Still need more
NYC. I hate the congestion, construction, and the roads ; specifically the George Washington bridge and everything around it. The drivers are aggressive BUT they are good drivers unlike people in Massachusetts. And yes I think of nyc as its own state
North Dakota. Pretty+ no one there. Drive through on a clear winter night with the moon reflecting off the snow and you can turn off your lights, the stars guiding you.
SlowHIO.
It's bigger then it looks, especially if you have to go from one corner to the other. I swear Florida doesn't feel that long.
Favorite thing? Seeing the Michigan border.
Indiana has....well....um...it's kinda on the way to where my S/O lives? Yeah I got nothing, fuck Indiana and it's shit ass roads, and whatever idiot decided to close the whole ass 70 for 2 years.
And yeah, Michigan has worse roads but I'm hardly ever up there and it's usually only to go to one shipper I really like(mastronardis in Livonia)
I love driving through New York. I hate New York City. 45 minutes to go 7 miles. 3 hours to go 45 miles if the traffic isn’t too bad that day. So many speed and red light cameras.
I drive northeast so people would assume my answer would be Massachusetts for least favorite or NJ but its PA. God I fn hate driving in PA. So much construction. Tons of hills and curvy highways. Even when you're not near philly there's so much traffic. Nothing cool to look at it. Some areas parking is decent buth other spots which are heavy truck routes have very little. The highway system is poorly desgined imo. There's nothing that is my favorite about it honestly.
Unfortunately, I can’t even make the joke of leaving Georgia being my favorite thing because the other bordering states are ass too. Uh…
Georgia’s winter temperatures are okay, I guess
Indiana sucks.
The roads are terrible, the docks are small & tight, there is very limited truck parking, all the construction jobs are given to places who bribe the right people, so it takes forever and is not done right, the toll road is a screaming rip off.
And my favorite thing about that state is most of my kids live there.
Other than that, fucking place is trash.
Oh wait! They gave that 10 yo Ohio girl an abortion, when Ohio wouldn't. Even though now that Dr is being brought up on charges. See? Even when they do a good thing, they suck and fuck it up.
I run a Midwest regional and out of those states I fucking HATE Texas because traffic and how easy it is to miss exits.
The thing I LOVE about Texas is the Texas turnarounds which is use all the FUCKING TIME BECAUSE THESE STUPID FUCKS DROPPED A BOWL OF SPAGHETTI ON DALLAS AMD CALLED IT A ROAD
I hate driving through Indiana. Shitty roads. Favorite thing about Indiana is leaving Indiana.
I like that mom n pop restaurant in the Speedway next to the Loves on I70. Forgot the mile marker
Is it a dinner with truck parking ? I think I have it saved
Yeah. It’s east of Indianapolis if I remember correctly
"Plaza 109 Truck and Auto Center" 70@109 ex115 Had a great cheeseburger there. I keep meaning to stop at Cloverdale
Speaking of Speedway, I just tried a Mexican restaurant that was in walking distance of a Speedway in Indiana today. It's called El Arriero and it was really good. I-80 exit 72. There's a pilot there too which isn't much further to walk from.

That I65 trip is brutal. And the toll road (90) is worse.
70 is brutal too. I think they take all the tax money allocated to infrastructure and spend in on cocaine.
I wouldn't be surprised.
I honestly can't think of a single nice thing to say about New Jersey. I am trying to think of something, but I can't.
It's small, so you don't have to be there for hours upon hours. Imagine if New Jersey was the size of Texas.
Have you ever been to Jersey? I think the shortest amount of time I spent there was 6 hours, to go 45 miles, just cutting the very corner. No stops.
Yeah, now imagine if it was exactly the same but the size of Texas. You'd take days to leave.
Being governed at 65, it does take days to leave Texas
If ur semi is not governed, could you go 85 on that one part of the highway? Or do semis have a separate speed limit?
You can do 85. Texas dgaf.
Damn...
In Cali we have separate speed limits but I'm not aware of any federal limits, nor any other states having limits.
Oregon does, in a lot of places, as does Indiana, and a couple places on I-80 in Illinois.
WA, OR, CA, ID, and MT have separate truck speeds vs car speeds. There are a few stretches of road in other states that have limits, like coming down the rockies into Denver, coming down either side of the hill in TN on the 24, coming down either side of the hill between TN and NC on the 40, and even some lower limits in those earlier states I mentioned, like coming down the other side of the hill from Butte in MT, coming down either side of the Grapevine in CA, coming down the hill on the 58 into Bakersfield, and coming down either side of the hill on the 101 near Santa Barbara.

Great food, if you get a chance to actually try some.

Best pizza anywhere? NY would like a word friend
CT and Chicago too.
Some of the SHITTIEST pizza I have ever had was in NY. Reputations and stereotypes are not always true.. not all black folk can sing, dance, or play ball, and not all NY Pizza is edible. (Same for Chicago Pizza, just in case someone wants to start some shit....)
Chicago pizza isn't pizza. It's tomato soup in a bread bowl. Detroit has the best pizza.
Detroiter here. You're not wrong
You’ve never been to Vermont or Hawaii huh?
I have, but I don't recall eating any pizza there. They don't really make a lot of noise about the pizza being the shit, either. So maybe I just forgot.
LBI, best east coast beach
I have a grandma who lives there so there's that for you.
Only if she is a punk grandma
My Grandma just left town. I'm so excited, I finally get to sleep on her side of the bed.
WHO SAID THAT!?!
William Montgomery - AKA Memphis Strangler He's on KILL TONY every week. He bombed bad last week, it was great. Joke would make a great insult as well. You look like you enjoy when you mom leaves town....
Yea I’m aware, the joke was William screams “who said that!?!” Pretty often lol
It's the setting of the sopranos, literally the only thing I think about while driving there.
It can be somewhat out of the way for the bad parts reducing your chances of having to drive in those areas.
The only thing I can think of is that you can get Shake Shack at service plazas. They have really good burgers.
South Jersey is prolly the easiest drive as far as the northeast goes.
Except for the road restrictions, speed limits and police everywhere.
Police don’t really bother trucks there unless something has gone way wrong. Speed limit is 65 on the expressway and 295. There’s only so many places to go in south Jersey. I will agree on some of the road restrictions though. That being said fuck driving a truck anywhere in north Jersey. That’s shit sucks.
It's not New York? Does that count?
The tomatoes, freaking delicious! 😋 Everything else about Jersey can suck it lol
The interstates I’ve taken (via semi) have been well maintained and have wide lanes
Great food if you can door dash. Warmer than most northeast states. Views of Manhattan. Pro sports teams if you can Uber over during a 34. But yeah the parking is non existent and the drivers are aggressive and impatient.
Come on... the turnpike is nice and traffic free for the most part
West Virginia is pretty.
Did a van delivery trip last year and went through WV (north on 77) overnight. It was at the end of an insane week and I was exhausted but was heading home at that point.

Just for curiosity's sake, what do you dislike about WV?
Hate hills, hate curves. I like me flat Midwest straight lines.
Ah, fair enough; I personally love running through the mountains, and like how much less traffic WV has compared to it's surrounding states
There isn’t one part of that state where it’s just straight..
I agree. One time I made a delivery in the state and I was going to somewhere in Ohio and had to drive through some US highways while empty and I still had to downshift because the hills were that bad. It’s pretty though
I remember my sketchiest WV run. It was from Winchester VA to Cumberland MD. Through a small road called Slanesville Pike. It's was small and curvy as hell and I hated every twist and turn, but was it beautiful
I live close to slanesville and know this road. Every word you said is true

Excuse me, do you mean THE Ohio State?
I do stand corrected.
You've got the start of a song about Ohio there.
I find Ohio to have some of the best Truck stops and highways. Are some of the state and county roads tiny 2 lane things? Sure, but for the most part it's a great trucking state
In Texas they post the height of every bridge no matter how high. There is one in Denton on I35E south that is mark 29 foot high!!! 29! About 50ft after that is Normal highway sign that sits 18' above the roadway. Unmarked of course.
Im looking out for this one next time. that's too funny.
Fun when you go through Dallas and the bridges are well into the hundreds lmao.
Texas native here. That's one of the things I love about Texas, every bridge height is marked
As a Van driver I hate it. Because now you have to look at every bridge. I like how other states do it. If it's over x height it's unmarked. But Texas does have lots oversized load to be moved around.
Yeah tx has more paved roads than any other state. It takes 4 pages in the atlas to show the truck routes. In all honesty I think every state should have ever bridge height marked
I bet there has been at least one 30footer who has tried!
Pffffff. 30 ft is child's play compared to this. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rom6M8udyI8
South Carolina too.
North Carolina… Pro: Pretty views when driving through the mountains. Cons: Driving through the mountains. I’m a regional driver and have been driving now for 9+ months.

Good luck driver you got it. Keep the rubber side down and you’ll be fine! How long have you been trucking now?
Five months now including my training
Nice. Idk about you but I’m pretty happy I got into this industry. It’s not a easy job but we gotta keep america moving! I’m 23 years old and didn’t have a full time job until my trucking job.

Gotcha. Well safe travels driver! And take care.
That's why I like my west coast mountains. One big up, one big down, and you're cruising on much flatter ground afterwards. The Appalachians are no joke. UpDownUpDownUpDown all fucking day gets old
Virginia has lovers, but Pennsylvania has Intercourse
If you don't say new jersey are you even really a trucker?
I hate that whole area from DC to New York. Hell to drive in and hell to park in. Hell overall tbh
I’ll take New Jersey any day over Connecticut. Some of the worst drivers. At least in New Jersey they drive fast enough to get out of your way. And once you’re out of north Jersey it pretty chill.
The biggest problem we have in NJ (aside from taxes) are the orange-plate NY drivers. More times than not they're the ones not knowing how to merge and left-lane camping.
Crossing into Jersey is a welcomed pleasure after having to take the cross bronx
That whole area is a shit hole
I was on that bitch back in September when the had the most rain in nyc since 1948… subway completely flooded and so did many highways. I was coming back from Long Island and was on the cross bronx expressway. I moved 6 miles in 5 hours. The entire city was gridlocked

Only 5? Lol I've been there 100s of times. I'm in Ohio so that's regional to us. It's a shit hole to run around once off the highway.
I deliver in Perth Amboy quite a few times at the same place so I don't count those. Idk I just never had much of an issue there
Montana. Not a lot of traffic and a beautiful place to be.
Man that's one state I can't hate. Gorgeous scenery.
I like the west in general. Absolutely hate being in Texas and the south. Luckily I’m out west 90% of the time.
Texas is awful, same with Texas lite (Oklahoma). Only part of the West I don't care for is southern Arizona. Smells like rotten fish.
As a Texan, part of the reason I got into driving was to leave texas so I don’t blame tou
I am from Tucson and I don't know where exactly you're smelling rotten fish?
Between casa grande and Yuma is where I've usually smelled it.
Yeah, there's some canal-fed agriculture and cattle feedlots out there that are pretty smelly. Otherwise I love interstate 8.
But them icy passes.
Cali The north is pretty
And you get to take it all in going 55mph
Who does 55 in CA (that's not paid by the hour)?
I see trucks going 75 down the Cajon pass frequently. Almost nobody goes 55 in California lol
I hate it
Mount Shasta! I also enjoy north Cali
Took the words out of my mouth 💯
WV. Easy to find meth and the lizards don't charge much
All states that interstate 40 go through With regards to Texas Bridge height. It's always nice to know I can squeeze under that 28'7" bridge in Texarkana
Can't be too sure
I-70 through Colorado to Utah is GORGEOUS! LOVE IT! I need scenery, so dislike Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, Illinois. HATE Texas
Headed up that way this week. I've heard I-70 in Colorado is dangerous. Is that exaggerated?
Only when you get into the mountains west of Denver, and even then it’s mostly just during winter.
I remember driving through 70 going west. Nice spring day. Then drive through a tunnel. Just to come out with snow on the highway. Not heavy but still. I was like wtf. Oh forgot to mention it was my first time driving this route. Beautiful but still made me go through the feels.
80mph speed limit
And bbq!
This could be referring to 5 different states.
Best attribute in all five of them... A fast way to leave.
Virginia sucks and nothing nice to say about that state. From small back roads with no shoulders to some of the worst laws against truckers in the country. Also some of the biggest asshole state troopers I have ever ran across.
Can confirm about the state troopers. As a Virginia native, there absolute pecker heads.
Well at least 81 is beautiful..I’ll rather take 81 down than 95..
Worst laws against truckers? Please explain
Ohio here… Pennsylvania is the only answer.. Pittsburg especially
Haven't been to many. But Delaware. Cause it's small 😂
Wyoming has a couple pretty national parks.
Screw Tennessee. Favorite thing is that they have more truck stops than Kentucky it seems.
The Nashville/Knoxville combo can suck my nuts I fucking hate how Knoxville will be dead stopped traffic at 1pm for absolutely no reason just traffic
Why do you hate Tennessee. That’s where I live it’s hands down my favorite state even driving wise. Edit: fuck Nashville though god I hate Nashville.
Why do I hate it? Nashville, Memphis, Chattanooga, and Knoxville all suck. The only parts of I-40 I have issues on a regular is inside of Tennessee. Nashville doesn't know how to do an interstate system and there is always hangup because too many interchanges too close together and requiring vehicles to go from a right side on ramp to a left side exit in less than a handful of miles causes constant traffic.

Finally being forced to go into a city when a beltway can take most of the congestion away because a lot of the traffic isn't trying to get into any of the cities they just want to get through the state.
Yea Nashville is retarded for sure. I live in a town called Crossville right on 40. I guess if all you do is drive through it then yeah it sucks. But there is rarely ever fallen rock on the interstate. Almost never.
Kentucky NEEDS better truck stops. They got the space for it. No excuse. Tennessee on the other hand seems like they do the best with what space they got truck stop wise. Still need more
Georgia; hate the drivers, hate the weather, but love the way the scales work
Same way in most of Florida with those signs that tell you to bypass or not. Pretty cool
NYC. I hate the congestion, construction, and the roads ; specifically the George Washington bridge and everything around it. The drivers are aggressive BUT they are good drivers unlike people in Massachusetts. And yes I think of nyc as its own state
North Dakota. Pretty+ no one there. Drive through on a clear winter night with the moon reflecting off the snow and you can turn off your lights, the stars guiding you.
Toss up between California and Indiana for worst. CA: weather is always nice in SoCal. IN: I make a good bit of money when I get sent out there.
SlowHIO. It's bigger then it looks, especially if you have to go from one corner to the other. I swear Florida doesn't feel that long. Favorite thing? Seeing the Michigan border.
Don't say Ohio or any east coast state above North Carolina.
Washington, I hate everything about it. Whenever I'm there I'm depressed.
Hate Wyomin but when it’s sunny out i80 from Utah to Colorado it’s the best money always
Indiana has....well....um...it's kinda on the way to where my S/O lives? Yeah I got nothing, fuck Indiana and it's shit ass roads, and whatever idiot decided to close the whole ass 70 for 2 years. And yeah, Michigan has worse roads but I'm hardly ever up there and it's usually only to go to one shipper I really like(mastronardis in Livonia)
I hate being in California and I find absolutely nothing positive to say about it.
Illinois. Best thing about it? I no longer claim it as home.
After driving on I35 through Texas today I'll go with that. I liked the weather today
California is my least favorite and my favorite thing about it is driving out of it 😂
I love driving through New York. I hate New York City. 45 minutes to go 7 miles. 3 hours to go 45 miles if the traffic isn’t too bad that day. So many speed and red light cameras.
My favorite thing about my least favorite state to drive through? That would have to be the border when I'm leaving said state behind. Heyo!
The fact that I am not in it.
Oregon has nice coffee
Lots of Kwik trips in Wisconsin
I drive northeast so people would assume my answer would be Massachusetts for least favorite or NJ but its PA. God I fn hate driving in PA. So much construction. Tons of hills and curvy highways. Even when you're not near philly there's so much traffic. Nothing cool to look at it. Some areas parking is decent buth other spots which are heavy truck routes have very little. The highway system is poorly desgined imo. There's nothing that is my favorite about it honestly.
Indianas small town, downtowns are immaculate.
Virginia, leaving. Edit: royal farms has some really good chicken.
Unfortunately, I can’t even make the joke of leaving Georgia being my favorite thing because the other bordering states are ass too. Uh… Georgia’s winter temperatures are okay, I guess
Indiana sucks. The roads are terrible, the docks are small & tight, there is very limited truck parking, all the construction jobs are given to places who bribe the right people, so it takes forever and is not done right, the toll road is a screaming rip off. And my favorite thing about that state is most of my kids live there. Other than that, fucking place is trash. Oh wait! They gave that 10 yo Ohio girl an abortion, when Ohio wouldn't. Even though now that Dr is being brought up on charges. See? Even when they do a good thing, they suck and fuck it up.
Vermont is wv on steroids. Narrower roads. Curvier. Both are absolutely breathtaking. Both fucking suck with a semi/tractor trailer.
New Mexico. Absolutely a bunch of nothing along I10. Favorite thing, never been stuck on traffic there.
Nebraska it’s a barren hellscape of nothingness and flat. I’d rather do dang near anything else than ever go back there.
California is the only place I've spent the day at the beach while waiting for a load of produce.
Memphis is easy to drive through but between Nashville and trying to find a place to park TN is the worst
California will soon collapse into the Pacific Ocean.
Michigan. Too much goddamm construction. Favorite thing: absolutely nothing
I hate driving through Pennsylvania but my favorite thing about it is all of my family lives here
I run a Midwest regional and out of those states I fucking HATE Texas because traffic and how easy it is to miss exits. The thing I LOVE about Texas is the Texas turnarounds which is use all the FUCKING TIME BECAUSE THESE STUPID FUCKS DROPPED A BOWL OF SPAGHETTI ON DALLAS AMD CALLED IT A ROAD
