Re: 1500 mile road trip

I'll take that as an Officer Friendly warning. I have the cruise set on 70

Re: 1500 mile road trip

Usually you can get away with 9 to 10 over, the unwritten rule with the guys I've met from around the country (yes there are some that would right their g-ma for 2 over on the highway) is no one writes for anything less than 13 over .... usually just a warning since warners carry the same weight as a mover, statistically speaking.

Re: 1500 mile road trip

Sounds like a good time. I have been in the mood to hit the road for some and disappear.

Re: 1500 mile road trip

I had this written once but my phone batery went low and I lost it.To catch you all up, it rained the first day so we hung out in the hotel room next day (Thursday) was over cast and it was misting sometimes but we made the boat ride out to Fort Sumter took some pics that I hope to figure out how to get them posted. Today we went to Middleton. Plantation. It was nice. Weleft thre and was kind of rushed for time since we had a. Concert at the university to get to by 7.we were making pretty good time and was running close on time but it was doable.about 20miles from Greenville the tread decided to leave the right front tire.Beat the front bottom and inside of the fender up but with the slapping over before we could get stopped.After looking the situation over(trunk full and notime for it

Re: 1500 mile road trip

And since it was still holding air we continued on at a much slower rate but still made it!
