I was working with a relocating buyer the other day. He's been here awhile and his family has just arrived in the area, so now it is time to seriously pick out a place to live. As I was driving to the next home, I asked the husband what has been the worst part of the relocation so far.
He said- "Traffic...learning how to get to and from work!"
He further explained, after driving by myself, taking the bus from the place where I am staying in Lake Ridge Virginia, and trying the VRE I learned about Slugging. So I decided to try it one morning. That is an awesome system!" Peggy, it is like legal hitch hiking!"
Why was he so excited? Because Slugging is FREE!
Imagine that, in the Nations Capitol and surrounding sub-burbs you can stand at a local commuter lot and jump in a strangers car and get a Free ride to work everyday, to and from.
This is one of the best video's I've seen that lets you the commuter see and experience exactly what Slugging is and how you do it. Presented by CNN and Money Magazine watch now
Now below is Erick Blackwelder my real estate partner (as well as my brother-in-law) who shares with you information about traffic, and just confirms that if your friends have told you that the traffic in the DC Area is horrible, and that commuting is awful..."that you have honest friends!"

That is a new way to get to work. Never heard of the term. Thanks for the post.
I have never heard of this before, but it makes good sense. I like the term too. How funny.
We have some of the worst traffic ever here. I'm glad I don't have to commute every day.
Hi Carol, I would imagine Palm City Flordia doesn't havea need for Slug Lines, however busy metropolitan area's such as Northern Virginia, slugging is a lifesaver for many!
Cindy- I know can imagine you sharing at a cocktail party or a BBQ hey I'm moving to Virginia and I'm going to be a SLUG!
Justin- that is one of the benefits of being self employed and the second benefit of being able to chose where we want to concentrate to buy and sell real estate. Hopefully you have been able to focus in on the Ashburn Virginia area and avoid I-95 and Rt 66! I'm sure you've heard the old saying I-95 is Hell and Rt 66 is just the gateway to hell! Sadly it is so true..
