    70, 75, 80+, they just go until they fly off the road and scatter bodies everywhere. And I know, I've ridden a few sitting behind the driver where I could see the speedometer, been passed by dozens, and picked up the pieces out of the median. Still got that little old lady's cane that was in the bathroom when the bus went airborn and landed upside down on top of her and several other passengers in the adirondacks.

    Not true! He hooks a trailer to the back of it I may still get him under the federal regs. But he's local, I still have my State laws. :biggrin_2551::biggrin_25525:

    Maybe your state.

    In Indiana, they are using suburbans, blazers and such suv's to pull brand new boats. These vehicles are under the CMV 10,001 on a power unit and they do not log or have medical cards or signs.

    I have seen them pull out of plant area and the boats are covered in plastic, in Topeka, Indiana. Starcraft Plant.

    Seen smaller trucks pulling brand new cargo trailers the same way.

    I saw some of those today and it didn't even register until you said something about it.

    I think they get to do the car speed limit 70 in those states that only let trucks or vehicles with trailers do 55. Don't understand it, think their commodity they haul is more valuable then what's in our trailers. :dontknow:
