Here's my somewhat uneducated answer.

1. Give me two different routes you can take from the shipper to the receiver. Whats the miles difference? Which one is better and why? Please be specific. Here's the two routes only 31 miles difference. I would say the first is the better route because for one it's shorter and another it is mostly interstate so less turns,small towns, stop lights, maybe livestock, and slower speeds and the interstate should be in better conditions compared to some of the local highways on the other route.

2. Should you drive right now or should you wait? If so, why? I would wait you've been in sb two hours might as well make it the 10 hour break then do the drive all at once in the daylight.

3. Can I make this delivery? Yes without a doubt

4. What are some challenges you'll face with this load? Mountain passes and then maybe some traffic getting into Henderson. Weight and balance

I know I-81 really well and it's a road to be respected. Very sorry to hear about the driver :-(

When they was doing that road work on 81 in west Virginia always accidents there

I run 81 everyday and have my whole life it is a very dangerous road. My old office was at exit 20 in WV when they were doing the road work and your right everyday bad wrecks and some lives loss. I was sitting in the SB lanes when they close it down,we were back up north of Greencastle. Very sorry for the drivers family and they will be in my prayers tonight.

HAGERSTOWN, Md. - A man is dead after a fiery tractor trailer accident Friday afternoon on Interstate-81 in Hagerstown.

Maryland State Police said the truck was driving north on I-81 shortly before 2:30 p.m. when it struck a guardrail. It then hit a wall underneath the overpass at U.S. Route 40, the exit for the Hagerstown Shopping Center. They say the truck flipped over and burst into flames, creating heavy smoke around the bridge.

The driver, identified as Donald Hall, 59, of Chambersburg, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Both northbound and southbound lanes on I-81 were closed for about an hour, until the southbound lanes were re-opened. Officials said the northbound lanes will remain closed until a structural engineer can inspect the bridge due to the explosion.

No other vehicles were involved.
