Alternative routes
Posted: Wed Nov 5, 2008 2:20:40 PM

Greetings all. I am a OTR driver and have always thought it would be great to be able to find viable alternative routes than the interstates. I

When you look up routes in your trustly atlas all they show is a colored line across the page. They don't really tell you what he road is like. Does it have any big pulls on it? or lots of small towns with stop lights and greedy cops.

So what i've done is to create a web site that is totally free in which you  can search for different roads state by state. If the road you want, say US6 in Utah between I70 and I15 any info on the road will show up. All the info is provided by drivers posting their experinces.

Along with alternative routes, you can post good or bad eating spots, places  findings on it. So far I've put some of my findings on it, but I need help from all you guys and gals out thto park, repairs shops even NA,SCAR tracks and where to park your rig to watch the race. 

Once this gets up and running, I think it will be a good tool to help us all save money and time, by getting real info on things provided by us, the guys out there and not from suits in marketing or advertising.

The address is www.alternativerouteusa.com. Hope to meet you all there.
