    Michigan is the new buckeye...

    Those of you that have been out here a while know what I mean......If cars/trucks didn't pay good coming out of there I'd never go near that state and its tore up roads

    Most trucks are governed below the posted speed limit.Doesn't matter where you are don't go over 5 mph a cop may stop you.

    I don't believe that, we use the 7 mile rule in the state, there has to be some other reason.

    Ohio bit me a few times. Caught me last time at the 13 mile marker of all places westbound with a group of 4 hotfooting west.

    It was a good catch for him. fat ticket for me, warrent arrest for one, arrest for two and then tickets and stacks of problems on the other two. Ugh. When he deployed his laser on me across the interstate at the 14 we just had backed off 105 to 65 on CB report. It was a near thing. But tickets all around. Jackpot.
