    $2.98 per paycheck? That amounts to what - about 25% of your total earnings at Werner?

    I run nothing but I-5 for the last 5 years and if he got a ticket at 58 that's a rare occurrence. Trucks go 60 on I-5. And what happened with the FedEx truck/bus was indeed tragic, but I haven't seen Fed x slow down a bit.

    'slow back down' to 15mph OVER the posted limit? That driver deserved to be trolled like that, IMO.

    That would be 6 tickets an hour. I am sure you mean monthly.

    Learn the rules of the game, and play a better game while still following the rules. That's how you win.

    If you got a speeding ticket in PA, you must have passed the PSP car when he was driving 15 over. Or you were pulling a maggot wagon.

    Funny thing, that. 'Clean emissions' also means lower MPG. Lower MPG increases emissions. A 'running regen' to clear the DPF also increases emissions. I've not aware of any studies that have been done, but my guess is that all this push for 'emission controls' on trucks has actually INCREASED greenhouse gas production. At best, it's driven up the costs of transportation while keeping emissions level.

    Who are you and scottie to dictate or have a say in the speed someone else is doing? If the guy wants to risk a ticket or accident or whatever that's on him, it's not ok to become an idiot and speed up and run side by side with him... Doing that is just asking for trouble yourself.
