    Not sure to be honest. I think 65. But it goes up and down and the road goes from 4 lane divided back to 2 lane multiple times. Some small hills so everyone gets stacked up behind trucks and get impatient then try to pass and thats when u get wrecks..

    Some of these people handling money don't have a clue

    About a month ago I stopped at the Golf Galaxy to buy a Pair of Golf Gloves, found the ones I wanted and went to Checkout and the fun started

    The Young Man quickly scanned the Gloves and said that'll be $37 something, I already had a $50 in my hand but then went digging in my Pocket for the something in Change.....this caused a Big Time CF in his Brain

    He proceeded to give me $37 in Change for my Purchase when he should have been returning $13, I then tried to explain that he had made a Error while he showed signs of bewilderment on his face

    I'm still not sure he understands his mistake

    I'm going to have to do a "my bad" thing on this comment. I was attempting to remember better details when I remembered this accident DID NOT happen on that road. It happened a few miles from Gila Bend on State Hwy 85. Hey, I'm an old fart these days!

    So in other words, the problem is idiots passing on solid yellow lines. Typical.....

    65 on a two lane is definitely something I’ve never seen before. We only have a handful posted above 50 in MD, there’s none in DE, and I believe none in NJ.

    Hell, I thought 65 on an open full-access stretch of Rt. 1 in Florida was an oddity when I first seen it.

    Out west we have high speed limits. Most 2 lanes are 65.. But really nobody obeys them. If u driving 65 ur in the way and they try to run u off the road... Alot of the problem is when that divided highway merges back to 2 lane and the passing lane is on a uphill and the merge lane is at the top of the hill. Its tough to get ur truck merged over. I will get in the left lane before it ends because right lane is merging therefore has to yield to left lane traffic. In theory if someone side swipes me from the right its their fault. Plus it protects the idiots a little becauze they will race around on the shoulder rather than the oncoming lane... I know they are going to do it anyways.. I just wish those types of drivers would get their license taken away... Wonder if thats what happen with the car hauler that got side swiped. Pickup probably trying to race around and wasnt clear. Cost them their life. People dont think about that #### . they just trying to get to vegas 30 seconds faster

    The problem is people coming from places like THE COMMUNIST STATE and going," Oh the roads are so nice and dry. You can see forever."

    Except they have the phone in front of their face.

    Guess its time to burn some miles northbound. Hoping we can find some fuel somewhere under $6... Well as the old saying goes... Hope will drive a man crazy.

    Fuel up in Kingman. You need to get the NASTC fuel card. Pay for itself in a few weeks with prices like they are now.

    I fueled in phx was 5.99 .. Kingman is almost 6.30 a gallon... Trying to make it back to plymouth Utah to the 76. They always 60 cents cheaper than any truck stop... I have the fleet one efs card. The discounts are ok . but nothing to write home about. Maybe i should get the nastc
