Imagine being overtaken on the hills by a semi-trailer.

Imagine the semi being able to maintain highway speed so well it actually gets checked by the RTA for possibly being underweight or speeding.

Imagine a 480km round trip of 35 tonnes GVM producing no CO2 or other emissions.

That's what we should be looking at now that fuel prices are going up.

I just offloaded the video off my dashcam, in fact. Going to be an extra long night for that guy, trying to avoid the CHP weigh station, probably. 🙄 #semi #oops #trucking #traffic

And if you drive some of the smaller roads roadside restaurants like this are everywhere. Ample truck parking (usually paid 25-50 zł, do 5 to 10 pounds if you want to park overnight), good and affordable home cooked food, shower and there is a supermarket next door on this one. #hgv #trucking

I might be heading underground again tomorrow to pick up a load. That means no cell service and no internet.

I finally remembered to load up some of my favorite Linux games, including SuperTuxKart, LBreakout, Frozen Bubble, and Mahjongg. Those should keep my mind occupied if I'm down there for more than a few minutes.

I'll probably download one or two videos, too.
