I like Sunday travel because of fewer trucks, but, it is usually
compensated for by the 4 wheel drive, crew cab, lift kitted, pick ups
towing a load of 4 runners, or pleasure boats or toy haulers at 75 plus in
the far left lane, swerving in and out of weekend travelers. Usually
truckers drive a constant speed, stay in one lane, and maintain proper
following distances. I will take that any day over the 4 x 4's.
