You can haul ass that way, particularly if you have a CB. When I was doing that a lot, I knew quite a few of those truckers and I met some face to face. I rescued a guy on 270 one night and got a lot of street cred from that. I agree about that Richmond to Springfield part of 95. One night I was on an call going from Rockville to just south of Ashland and got hooked up with my truckers. I made that 90 mile trip in about an hour. I do the 301 thing too but I am going to Ridge these days so it is pretty much the first right turn off the PR bridge. When I was in Clinton I went that way tho. I haven't had a CB since the early 80's. Used it a hell of a lot travelling across country and while advising Reserve and National Guard units out west. Haven't used one at all since then. Have you used one recently? I've heard that most of the truckers don't even use them anymore. Too much static or whatever. I've thought about getting one, but haven't talked to anyone recently about them. The last one I had on the road was in my van which I gave to my BIL in the late 90s. I have not really made that Kamikaze trip to DC after I got my last load of stuff here in 4q1984. I still had one in my garage for years after that and I turned it on a few times. I was still hearing the truckers on I-75. These days they probably Facebook each other ;-) |
