Just remember, the only things open after midnight are legs and bars.

 

since yall are saying to avoid atlanta, what are some towns around that area that would good to stay at overnight? im tryin to travel about 300 or so miles each day so i dont push the truck or myself to hard, and atlanta is right at that 300 mile mark lol

 

I've always driven straight through Atlanta and it's usually better than going on the bypass. If u go on a bypass go 285 west. 285 east goes way out of the way. Mcdonough is a little ways south of Atlanta and the summit store is there. 600 miles in a day isn't far to me though. I'd drive straight through. It took me 11 hours to go from fl to tn (660 miles) pulling a decent sized trailer with 2 kids and my dog going about 60-65 MPH. By myself in my car is about 8-9 hours but I don't stop much. Just give everything on the truck a good once over and take a few spare parts and fluids and you'll be good to go.

 

Do not stop at the summit store......you will go broke and waste time there....but if your ok with that...it's worth the stop

 

lol i may stop there just for ****s and giggles, just to say i went there. also the air force has a limit on hor far you can drive in a day. 500 miles or 8 hours at posted speed limits. anything more than that and i wont be covered by my health insurance if i get in a werck. besides my rig is proven at about 300 miles a day and i dont have the best luck with longdistance drives. also uncle sam has authorized me 3 days for travel. i might as well use all three lol




on a side not. do yall think a couple of these would be good to keep a few gallons of aqua in for the radiator in case i overheat or something?http://www.airseacontainers.com/inde...-blue-207.html

Good luck on the move, drive safe, hope you enjoy your new home. Just for kicks, check your radiator hoses and if one looks questionable fix it or have a spare along.

 

With that list I think you're preparing to move into your truck and travel the country!

 

What can I say I like to be prepared. Its better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it

 

Yup. I totally agree
