Today’s Journey

We’re spending over 90% of the day in rural southwestern Alabama.

We’re headed to a paper mill near Perdue Hill, Alabama for a load of pulp wood that needs to get to Green Bay, Wisconsin.

After getting loaded, I’ll show you a different type of scale procedure that we sometimes have to do.

Once we leave the shipper, we’ve got about 130 miles of back road driving to get to Interstate Highway 20/59.

Cities and Towns Featured Along the Way:

  • Range, Alabama

Today is the first day I’m using this new dash cam, and I’m finding that I’m going to have to disable some of the features.
