    well for one ya'll don't think the speed limit applies to you, especially in construction zones. just because you go through 'x' amount of times a day and know there arent any cops around doesn't make it safe. All over the country you day cabbers think you own your little area of the road, running right up on 4 wheelers trunks because they're not going fast enough for you violating truck lane restrictions, and so on and so on.

    granted plenty of OTR are just as bad, but the vast majority of that nonsense i see on a daily basis is by day cabbers.

    my ride cuts out at 68 so the speed limit isnt a problem, i do see alot of fedex trucks rolling thru construction at a high rate of speed, personally i try to run with the ppl in my lane, truck or 4 wheeler. maybe a little about my self, i did 6 months at a training company then found a real job i guess. dedicated run, 1 load a day, just under 600 miles round trip and make excellent money. not the best job ive had but good people make it muh easier

    don't get me wrong i have absolutely nothing against the job you do, the money make, or the amount of time your home. And quite possibly you are not one of the drivers I'm referring to, however, it's constant from city to city day cabbers thinking they own the road because they travel it every day and forget that they are supposed to be the professionals.

    So by the same token than means because most OTR drivers that I see at the t/s are fat, smelly slobs that you are too?

    Well, my experience has been otherwise, and I thought we were making broad general, silly statements in this thread..........
