We bypass the scales and ag inspection at the line. We are not commercial trucks so we don't stop. Are you going to join us?

I am going to do my best, my truck is still in Kansas, they maybe done the end of this week. Trucks do not have to be commcercial only, i have seen DOT and troopers run down enclosed trucks and trailers to ask ( and be inspected)why they did not stop at the scale house.

In all my trucking years, I have never seen them pull over a military vehicle. I never pull through them while driving my green stuff. Of course, most my vehicles retain "the look". If they saw a red camo or something strange, it might raise an eyebrow..

I love driving by every scale when i can, but when in the F650 with dot # on the side and the log book on the seat and a load on the trailer i have no choose.

Studying the maps it looks like 387 miles from Wildwood to Durhamtown. Is there anyone that can't squeak out 200 miles before fuel? I'm probably closest driving a CUCV with a 20 gallon tank. I'll improvise. There is a Pilot truck stop at exit 60 in GA. That's 203 miles from Wildwood. Would this be an acceptable fuel stop? If possible I would rather avoid the half dozen fuel stops we had last year. From Macon we will take 129 to 44 and 44 right up through Greensboro. On 44 just north of I-20 there are a couple of gas stations including a BP that sells diesel (just called). Would this make an acceptable stop for a final fuel stop so we arrive with nearly full fuel tanks? Last year I almost missed getting my cabin, rather not go through that again if possible. If this is acceptable I will try to print up some maps highlighting this route in the event we get separated. What say the masses.

I think most of us can make it. We made it 200 miles pulling the 109 back in the summer. I think the M35 with 11.00's may get better, I hope. I agree with the less stops than last year.

There are two of us coming up from Jacksonville on Thursday morning. Anyone else coming up that way? We'll be in an M35A2C and an M923 if anyone wants to join.

8am! Be there at least by 7:30 to get fuel and meet and greet. We need to be rolling out at 8! We got to Durham way to late last year. Don't want to do that again. Hook up with Kenny if you can!

Hey Phil,

Just an update. I'm making the Georgia Rally the last stop on my vacation so I won't be convoying up this year. I already have my camp site reserved and will be arriving at Durham Town Wednesday afternoon.

See you guys there. Have a safe trip.
