I left at sunrise this morning. Had a good day on the road until I got to Marshal, Texas. I-20 was shut down for a bad wreck. The entrance ramp was closed. There was another Daily truck in front of me. The worker blocking the ramp allowed us to round the corner and stop on the ramp. Because the ramp was a permit load route, there were more big loads coming too. I convinced him to let us pull down the ramp towards where the wreck was, and the clean-up was in progress.
Fortunately, the wreck was almost cleaned up. The wreckage was gone. All that was left was cleaning up the large fuel spill that was caused when three semi trucks collided.
I convinced the worker to let us go by when they had the left lane swept clear of the stuff that was scattered all over the Interstate. SO, we were not held up too much. I continued on to a very small truck stop in Crockett, Texas for the night. Only 475 miles today.
