The Georgia permit didn't get here until after 1 pm. I finally got on the road. On I-75 just before the Atlanta Bypass ( I-285) there was a huge crash. They had the entire interstate shut down. I heard about it on the CB radio. I jumped off the interstate north of the traffic stoppage and took US-41 south. That road paralleled the interstate. I was not the only one with that idea, the road was jammed!! When I got down close to where the crash was I heard that they had three lanes open. I got back on I-75 and continued on. By the time I passed the crash most of it was cleared up. The only thing left was the overhead road sign that was being loaded on a roll back wrecker.
Because of the delay in getting the Georgia permit and then the long delay in bumper to bumper traffic from the crash, I was unable to deliver today. Stopped for the night at the Love's truck stop in Hogansville, Georgia. I'm about 10 miles from delivery.
