Glad this rarely happens to me. Delivered a load in Buena Vista,VA yesterday morning. Had a reload in Big Island,VA 19 "paid" miles away. Anyone who's been to that lovely tucked away Georgia Pacific plant in Big Island knows what I'm talkin about. Had to go down to Roanoke, then across to Lynchburg and up that way, since we ain't allowed on 501 between Buena Vista and where 501 and 130 meet. Actual miles-118. Love my job! :lol:

 

There is another way---- do you drive for SNI??? ive done it quite a few times.......

 

no, i don't drive for them. but i've made that trip a few times, whats this way you're talking about? i'd sure love to know.

 

if i had my map i could tell you right off hand........ive taken 501 s to lynchburg b4..not a good road with a trailer!!! plus the town right b4 lynchburg has police check points alot and they do write tickets.......ill look at my map..i know SNI has a permit for the road though..thats why i asked do u drive 4 them

 

yeah, i was informed of those checkpoints,thats why i go the other way. not into giving my money away, if you know what i mean. 8) i drive for JB.

I use to drive for JB and got that run a couple of times. I forget what road it is that takes you straight to the interstate but they have the permits at the Georgia Pacific plant.

Also if I remember right there is a low clearance location that states either 13'6" or 13'4" but the truck fits under there fine.

Good luck

 

Yes, that clearance is 13'5".

 

I ran the same load, but came down from Raphine. Hwy 122 is no joy, that's for sure. :shock:

 

Yeah tried that one too. :shock: :lol:

 

are you guys talking the stretch of 122 from bedford on up?? thats a good stretch :lol:
