We made it!
Took 10 hours and $200 in fuel - ouch!
Well, I did figure it would cost $1,300 for trip fuel and the truck burns more than expected, but we were getting fuel for $2.80 per gal , so it may even out.

The truck has the turning radius of a ballistic missile, and with the trailer, our main problem with gas stations and lunch stops was manuvering.
From Ocala to Valdosta, GA (our lunch stop) there were hundreds of religious billboards along the HWY.
In GA we passed a lot of cotton fileds, some pecan groves, peanut fields, and lots of chicken sheds.
We noticed that no one was speeding at all. I commented about the trucks and Rose thought they were GPS monitored and the drivers would get fired for speeding - I bet that is true. There were also a lot of cops along they way.
