    There is short lane closure and a 60mph speed limit right there. There was a pair of them working it, both with trucks pulled over.

    I wonder how much stuff they wrote up in one day? o_O

    Had another truck blow by me other day at that lane closure because mr flat bed super trucker with his chromed out Pete and 50 inch stacks couldn't wait..so he thought it would be nice to cut me off.
    Needless, to say he went through there well above 60..about 5 miles down the road, saw a dot with him on the shoulder..ahhh..what a good laugh I had.

    Far be it from me to side with DOT, but the Billy Big Riggers need to learn that a construction speed limit means what is printed on the sign.

    Well, I assume their in a hurry to get into the truck stop and wash their pretty little trucks, so they can all line up and wait for their broker loads lol. The guy was definetely an idiot, pushing the car in front of him like he was glued to their bumper.
     
    tucker Thanks this.

    I head about the "Super Trucker" snare on the CB about 80 miles prior.

    Plenty of warning...

    :)

    It's risky. Sometimes I'll have to pull over on a ramp and cry for a few minutes.

    What does the having a nice chromed out truck have to do with this. I have seen plenty of drivers with plain jane white volvos-freightliners doing the same thing.

    Good drivers are good drivers. Bad drivers are bad drivers and should be called out, what they are driving has nothing to do with it.

    Lol because most of the ones that you see all decked out are usually the ones that'll think they own the road. I have one all decked out in chrome everywhere, but I don't drive like a douche either. Must have struck a nerve.

    So true. Put together 99 beautiful, shiny trucks, you will find 33 bad/unsafe drivers, 33 mediocre drivers, and 33 outstanding drivers. Put together 99 ugly azsszz dirty fleet trucks, you will find 33 bad/unsafe drivers, 33 mediocre drivers, and 33 outstanding drivers.
