    I tried multiple times, didn't seem to make any difference. Maybe I should have tried a bunch more. It would help if they would equip our trucks with a trailer brake handle so I would only be putting brake pressure to the trailer brakes, but they don't.

    If you're luck is anything like mine, it'll be blowing hard enough in WY that they'll shut down the road to light loads.

    Neither is Arkansas. Just watched body cam footage of an Arkansas but someone out of service for not being able understand English. The guy was using a translator on his phone to communicate with the inspector

    Another thing they're cracking down on here (Arkansas) is big trucks in the left lane on I-30 between Benton and the split (I-30 / I-440 bypass) in Little Rock. It's probably about 20 mile stretch of 6 lane interstate (3 each direction). The far left is verboten to big trucks. I get the truckers' frustration. The megas all clog up the middle lane like their companies tell them to so...

    It seems to be a growing epidemic with the motoring public of cars and big trucks where people can’t seem to comprehend what slower traffic keep right means…
