Where's Steve at?

I want to say somewhere in the Midwest. Top guesses would be KY, IN, OH, IL, or MO.

Not Missouri.  The rumble strips are on the shoulders, not the lines.
There are no embedded reflectors - that rules out Illinois.
The rumble strip pattern is different than Indiana and Ohio from what I've seen.
It's obviously not an interstate as there are driveways on the left.

I'm going to suggest US-20 in Iowa.

[Roadrunner75]

Immediately after I suggested NC I realized that it was probably not a good guess since NC doesn't care for full width paved shoulders.

tough one?

[Roadrunner75]

Yup...got any more hints?  Where IS Steve at?

I thought I was onto something with US 50 in Ohio for a bit, but no dice.

Somewhere in Wisconsin, perhaps?

No and No, but i did go through Wisconsin after passing through this state. Ohio was not passed through.

That means the following:

Iowa (which means US-20);
Illinois, but the lack of embedded reflectors says otherwise; or
Minnesota.

Another Clue.

I was far from success that day, but when i broke down i wasn't far from it after all. The truck took a licking and could not keep tickin that day.

Eastern Indiana, along US-30?

[Roadrunner75]

I'm starting to think further south, like Arkansas.

That's possible.

Here's why I'm thinking Arkansas or heading north from there.  Based on the clue I have deduced the following, and will in the process either figure out the road or give Steve a good laugh:

The first sentence is some clever wordplay, and his truck broke down near either Success, AR or Success, MO.  The second sentence tells me he was hauling a load of Timex watches that day from their facility in North Little Rock.  He later went through Wisconsin, so he could pass near either Success since they are to the north of Little Rock.  I would err on the side of Success, AR since it's closer to a major corridor (closest to US 67, but I-55 isn't that far away), although he wasn't using an interstate in the photo.

Either that or there's a Timex store near Success, MS.  Or none of the above.

You got the word play wrong. it is all word play btw, and no i wasn't hauling watches.

I give up. All I can say is that it's somewhere in the Midwest. 

[SteveG1988]

US 60/63 in Missouri , I broke down in Licking Mo, which is only 17 miles from Success Mo, and the photo was taken a good distance away, so it was Far from Success.

[Roadrunner75]

US 60/63 in Missouri , I broke down in Licking Mo, which is only 17 miles from Success Mo, and the photo was taken a good distance away, so it was Far from Success.

But the photo is far from 60/63, or is that the answer?

Odd.  Usually Missouri has an annoying habit of puting the rumble strip right on the stripes.

[Roadrunner75]

I can't find a spot on the 60/63 concurrency that looks anything like the photo anyway...

[SteveG1988]

I can't find a spot on the 60/63 concurrency that looks anything like the photo anyway...

I went through the area again and it is still like that. Some spots have the striping a little off.

How old is the photo?  Did they put in the interchanges and close off some driveways recently in that stretch?  I'm looking at this area:

Nevermind - I found it:
https://www.google.com/maps?ll=36.887481,-91.910248&spn=0.000034,0.026157&t=h&z=16&layer=c&cbll=36.887562,-91.914376&panoid=qpRk2_DbxF9I7G4I8u2lEw&cbp=12,336.11,,0,-4.15
It's a mile or two south of where 60 merges in.  I was on the right track once I started thinking AR, and going through Wisconsin later was mentioned. 

Ready for the next one..
