[QUOTE="dutchwrangler, post: 1679909, member: 4650"] Depends. I roll out of OKC from Morgan Rd. & I-40 at 18:00 and have to deal with rush hour traffic. Lately I don't get past Norman until 18:45... longer if someone pulls a bone head manuever and gets into an accident. From Norman to Denton, TX things usually roll along fairly well with a stop in Ardmore for fuel and a snack. South of Denton on I-35E it's always iffy. I've seen some pretty good wrecks along that stretch that slow things down. Once I reach I-635 at about 21:30 it's 13 miles to my exit. This stretch of I-635 is the busiest road in the state of Texas. Currently it's fubar'd as it's being realigned and widened. Tons of accidents on that section, especially when it rains. Texassans can't driver to begin with... add a bit of rain and they're completely messed up. The ride back usually starts at 00:01 and I'm back in OKC by 3:30 and unloading. Most times the ride back to OKC is uneventful... though a few months ago I spent 4 hours parked on the uphill side of the Arbuckles when two other semi's got tangled up and burst into flames, shutting I-35 down. And about three weeks ago a south bound rig jockey fell asleep, crossed the median and nearly hit me head on at MM76 just north of Pauls Valley. That was a close call as I was coming down on the brakes for all they were worth. He came to a stop on my northbound lanes and I came to a stop about 20 feet from him. And Friday nights I get to put up with the drunks coming out of Riverwind casino. Always kind of fun to hang back behind one of those yahoos and see how many times they bounce of the center barrier. Anyways, I'm home by 05:00 most times and snuggled next to my wench until I wake up at 11:00 when I begin my day all over again. :) [/QUOTE]
