The reason people are mad is because garbage companies, and people like you who work for them, blatently disregard the law. When the government forced ELD onto the industry, it is because of people like you. When carriers are faced with insurance rate increases unless they install driver facing cameras in their trucks, it is because of PEOPLE LIKE YOU!
That is why people are judging you.
Should I be worried , this occurred in Illnois

Iemontel Thanks this. -
I just came here for positivity and you all started being negative , I’m a #### human I was given this #### paper that I don’t know it’s going to affect my future . Yeah it my fault I understand I was trying to inform myself with you’re help . Illinois officials are money hungry there was about 5 other trucks pulled over in a 30 mile radius on the i 80 this morning , the officer could have just let me slide but there money hungry . I’m trying to go to sleep but I can’t stop thinking about this . Sorry for getting carried away earlier .

2500 miles in 5 days...no problem. 2500 miles in 3 days would be pushing it. You would have to average 65 miles per hour, And run back to back 11 hour driving shifts. Which would be hard to do. The OP was headed East on I-80, was stopped at mile post 124. That is just east of Minooka where the speed limit drops to 60. There is a pull out right there adjacent to the speed limit sign, the other day there was two Illinois patrol cars sitting there, one facing each way. He would have come around that curve and went right by the LEO and didn’t slow down for the speed limit change. I see dangerous driving habits. Speeding, driving fatigued, falsifying his record of duty status, possible substance abuse? A lawyer for an accident victim will be all over this like white on rice. Lawyer fees will be higher than a cats back. You think I’m laying it on thick? You wait and see what a trial lawyer does with this, when the serious accident happens. Best wishes, I hope I’m not involved, and I sincerely hope your post is just BS....

I have spoken to several drivers that had this to happen to them. They thought they were awake, but failed to notice they were drifting off until it was much too late!
Another thing about this subject! As you get older this becomes MUCH more difficult! I HIGHLY suggest you stop doing this!
You can NEVER with any credibility justify illegal activity just because you don't do other things drivers consider rude! One simply doesn't justify the other.
