I lived in South Carolina from '81 to '96 and had several opportunities during that time to drive in and around Atlanta. Gerorgia drivers are among the craziest drivers in the country. If you can't drive aggressively there you'll get run over...lol. I had many scary times in that city. So when I moved to Philadelphia in '96 I was broken in to aggressive driving. Philly is among the major cities of the US and with so many people driving around in the same area there's bound to be a lot of idiots behind the wheel. I must have met up with 3/4 of them! After living there for about six months I got into the habit of trying to always stay ahead of the pack. It's the only way to get anywhere in a reasonable timeframe.

We usaly have the state police with us when we go around the loop in atlanta. We call ahead and they are waiting for us . It tends to make the majority of them behave them selves. They would rather escort us around then to have somthing happen and they have to evacuate the city. They do that for us in chicago too. Some of the construction zones are rilly tight and they do a rolling road block behind me so no one can get up next to me in them. And i hate to say this but in tight spots like that it is other trucks that give me the most problems. That is why they just dont even let enny one by. Its a lot safer and as soon as we are thru they move in behind me and let everyone go. Some people get madd but when it comes to safty there are no short cuts.

Joplin is a bit too far south for you...unless you want to go by way of Tulsa, OK...lol! Joplin is right off I-44 just east of the Oklahoma border.
