Hebron, IN

Today managed to work out rather nicely. I left Saluda around 7am and stopped in Knoxville for fuel. I ran through some fog around the TN-KY line and then it rained and drizzled through most of Kentucky and Indiana, otherwise the trip was fairly mundane. I drove just over 600 miles in just under 11 hours. Perfect. I'm about 2 hours from my delivery and I've already been assigned a load that picks up in Chicago tomorrow afternoon.

I did notice one thing today. Kentucky drivers are idiots. Either that or Kentucky doesn't have a state law requiring the use of headlights when it's raining, which would also be idiotic. I highly suspect the former. A few cars here and there, I can understand. It happens. Well, in Kentucky it's standard operating procedure to drive in the rain without your headlights on. My informal census counted no less than 10% of the vehicles on the road without lights. Seriously though, when it's raining and practically dark, that's just dangerous. Don't do that.
