The Texas Way to Drive Interstate Freeways

The Texas Way to Drive

We’ll talk a bit about the Texas way to drive in this video; but, first we’ve got to get our load of animal feed in Sulphur Springs.

But First!

Along the way to get the load, we’ll get treated to a front row view of a couple of railroad service trucks mounting themselves onto tracks.

Getting the Load Legal

Once we get loaded we’ll head back to the Pilot where we spent the night so we can scale this heavy load.

I’ll talk a bit about what I needed to do to shift the excess weight off the trailer axles.

Unique Freeway On-Ramps

Once we get rolling, I’ll point out some unique ways on-ramps and interchanges are handled in this State.

Finally, we’ll stop at the Petro Stopping Center in Weatherford to finish out the day.
