Truckers talk. You'd think by now the word would be out. Go slow on i12.



One blew by me going well over 75 the other day.

Hell, I guess I should be glad he didn't take 5 miles to pass the right lane traffic like they typically do.

Whoever came up with the cloverleaf interchanges needs to be drug out into the streets and beaten.

This is just the end of their natural life cycle. You see... when the mighty 18-Wheeler has lived a long and fruitful life, it makes one last trip to its hereditary lands in order to release it's seed (cargo) on the land then passes away as it rolls over and dies. The seed material is picked up by another 18-Wheeler and is carried away while the money from the transport is used to buy other trucks who can then come here to die and thus keep the cycle going.

I saw that 18 wheeler right after it happened. Just lying in its side in the middle of the road. I could smell gasoline. They were diverting everyone on east bound.

Luckily I was going west bound


Eta whoah just saw they ended up closing both directions. Glad I missed that!

I hope the engineer that developed that 12/55 interchange has his retirement withdrawn. He deserves worse than that though.

The 12/55 interchange must have been drawn by someone who never drove in their life. It is the worst in the world for sure. For every wreck there is, 500 more almost happened there.

Ponchatoula looks like the strawberry fest right now its so congested.

I got through right before they closed that shite down

Two hours later the tanker was still spread out across 2 lanes of interstate and there was extinguisher foam everywhere


Never seen so many cop cars in my life. Also saw a homeland security van
