    Atlanta is legendary for rush hour traffic. A friend of mine who grew up in Newark NJ eventually settled west of Atlanta and he says the traffic is horrible. He drives all 48 and Canada. Growing up in northern NJ just outside of NYC and getting his trucking license ( auto articulated) there, he's well acquainted with traffic! Chicago is another place. Pump fuel. Not gas! Sorry, I couldn't help myself! Lol

    Whenever I had meetings at Warner Robins AFB, Ga did not enjoy flying in and out of Atlanta. Had to pick your flights very carefully to avoid rush hour traffic. The other issue was it's a 2 hour drive between Warner Robins and Atlanta on a good day. So had to have a lot of extra time factored in. Especially on your departure. Wasn't uncommon to leave 4 or 5 hours ahead of your departure time from Warner Robins.

    Hey guys. I enjoy your vids. I'm an OTR driver also and like finding different methods and tips and tricks to navigate and making it less stressful to find places...so i notice you have Trucker Path on phone, plus a Garmin in front of you and one on windshield. Question...why the extra one on windshield? My guess is having that extra bit of info on screen that you can't all fit on a single one? And what is your main source of gps you follow? Guess that's two questions. Lol. Anyways thx and be safe.
