    I shouldn't reply.

    So if I mow down your brat kid in a crosswalk because I ignored a traffic control device. I can say to you "reap what you sow". Little timmy didnt listen and shouldn't have been there?

    Have I got it right?

    I have seen a lot of crap from road workers, it seems they think they have the right away over traffic. Too many idiots stand too close to traffic and get pissed when they put themselves in harms way.

    My state has a minimal lane width law when it comes to construction and too many times the workers will push out barrier to the point that it is illegal, creating a very narrow lane when there is no need for it. by doing that, they risk getting hit when someone strikes a barrier then the driver is at fault. This was the case on 2014 when it happened, the driver was charged with a crime and it was dismissed because the barrier was illegally placed. The driver went after the city, county and state, plus the construction company and worker in a civil case And he won.

    Hey guys, let's stop arguing over the right or wrong of speeding in construction. Please? I didnt do it on purpose. I was cruising with traffic. I missed the sign that brought it down to 50. There were no workers or equipment present. Mea culpa mea culpa. Now I'm just trying to pick up the pieces and sharing with my TTR friends.

    Put in 3 quick apps last night. TNI, Alliance and Carter.

    I Spoke with TNI before and I was 6 months short of recent experience (remember I was a dummy and tried getting off the road for almost 3 years?) So when I spoke to TNI recruiter last night he was very encouraging and said he would check with safety today.

    I'm a little uncomfortable with slip seating, but I do stay out a long time and would enjoy taking longer hometime intervals. Wish I could get higher pay per mile but its only 1 cent less than Bolt.
     
    Coffey and Chinatown Thank this.

    TNI has real nice trucks. Looks like they own the trucks and sell them after a couple years. Wonder what the prices are.
