WTF was that all about? (I counted 34 of the trucks, but they were still pulling out as I was driving out of sight.)

You mean Crossroads in Cary? That shopping center? There is a car dealership back there, maybe it's going out of business and they're relocating all the moichendize.

^^ Yeah, they were all going from Crossroads onto I-40 West at exit 293.

That's all I could think of to blame. I haven't driven by that dealership in a while, but I don't see how they get business. It's not exactly the location to be selling cars.

There's some sort of charity event where each semi driver pays like, $100 to drive in it. I heard something on the radio about it, but didn't catch everything

and unfortunately, fuel expenses resulted in negative money raised.

So without the cops it would have taken what? 45-50 minutes to get 34 vehicles through all those stoplights around crossroads?

Yeah, i actually saw this as I was going home today. Whole bunch of UPS and Food Lion trucks in a row, gave me a big ol' WTF? moment.
