I was on I78 W in PA two days ago on my way to our Jonestown terminal. And, I was driving behind a Prime truck being closely followed by a state trooper. The driver wasnt even doin 65mph, all his lights were on and all, all of sudden he gets pulled over. Then 3 or 4 miles later, 3 more trucks from private carriers also pulled over along the interstate by the state boys. Its pitiful what they doin to us. Meanwhile, theres a d###head on a 4Wheeler doin like 90 and he gets a free pass like he on a toll lane. Protect yall selves and yall CDLs my fellow drivers.
Are Cops real crackin down on us? Or are they trying to hustle us out of our pockets?

I hear what you're saying rookie.Everyday I see cops pulling semis over but no 4 wheelers.Yesterday 3 got pulled over.Remember we are the most evil drivers on the planet.We could learn a thing or two from those perfect 4 wheelers.

Probably pulled him over for impeding traffic com'on.
Skunk_Truck_2590 Thanks this. -
Blame that on Prime for ungodly slow trks.If other trks were pulled over a few miles down the road,it was probably a log check or random inspection.Point is truckers are picked on far more then 4 wheelers.

I78 is 55 from mm35 to ~mm55. If it was between those two yardsticks that's a reason to get pulled over. You didn't specify where exactly it happened, but I have trucks and cars (and cops) passing me at 65+ all the time there. They could sit there and write tickets all day long if they wanted.
And why are they pulling over trucks? Because the tickets are bigger. Traffic enforcement is 90% revenue, 10% safety.bullhaulerswife Thanks this. -

You said it there,IGNORANT.Only time companies/drivers get attention is when something bad happens,then the media is all over that like ticks on a hound dogThen of course they have to make it worse by adding their lies and their accumptions which the public feeds into.
