A question for those of you familiar with Grapevine

BUBBA YOU ARE CORRECT 15 mph or over is a serious ticket for a commercial driver and the grapevine does state truck lane 35mph and it begins way b4 the downgrade. I feel your pain but all states are issuing tickets to anyone at anytime for anything they want to. Like Clinton said ITS THE ECONOMY STUPID. Good Luck.

 

Went down Siskiyou today.....I was at 78K gross so that meant 18 mph all the way down....Of course...my '09 386 doesn't have the "brakes and the jakes" those other drivers must have....running 60+ down the grade......and I don't like the smell of burning brakes.......

 

Actually that was James Carville that that made that statement to Clinton to keep his campaign in line......

 

In the morning will load lumber (fence slats) and head south over I-5...will be plenty slow climbing with 79,650 gross...and down to the bug station will not come out of 7th...don't like seeing smoke coming from under or around the rear of the trailer...just makes for a bad day for sure.

 

You mean you don't run it in top gear all the way down and bypass the bug station and the coop further down like the NAFTA cowboys?

If you fly down the grade fast enough...DOT can't catch you right?

 

I know I'm way late for the party but just to add, I have seen this sign:



I believe it's on I84 WB before Pendleton as someone else said. Though I'm not sure it's a "speed limit" sign as much as a "suggested speed" sign. Since it's yellow I believe that means it's only a warning - not white.

 

If a sign is yellow and says 12'6" you should not obey it either?
