    It's all based on current draw, not how long it can bounce around before it breaks.

    Interesting outline. Greenville, SC had a unique Truck - Route rule. Going north on US 29 there was signage for truck route off to the right. You peeled off and went around town then it veered back left into the then 4 lane divided between Greenville, and Spartanburg.
    No biggie, but straight on up thru town seemed more logical. Late at night-Early morning?
    Ha... The MAN was ever alert. Whistled you down, put you in his car, went downtown to the station. They had a large ledger. Compared your name on drivers license to the index. If
    you appeared there was a fine, pay it and back to truck. If not, you were entered in the ledger
    and back to your truck. Free pass 1st time. Not me, but I am reasonably sure the name Ira Trigg appears cause that was on the receipt he had.
