    Been seeing more random checks beside the road in my running area. But that’s been going on for a while now with all the construction zones and the throttle jockeys blasting wide open through the construction….

    WI was full and packed up with trucks. State cops were hammering cars for speeding, they even had 4 tour buses for speeding.

    Apparently WI isn't done yet, Manitowoc scales are seldom open but they were today with a full parking lot.

    I thought that I read something about it being a week long blitz instead of the normal 72 hours.

    Or maybe it’s just another voice in my head trying to convince me to just stay home :)

    Ran 31 almost up to Michigan, and 65 down south of 70, only saw one state boy. And he was out of his car, standing just outside the fog line with his radar gun like he thought he was Buford T Justice.

    Good for you!

    I got a trailer abs light that keeps coming on when I hit a rough patch so I didn’t want to take any chances getting put oos.

    The problem is actually linked to a recall on my tractor that I’ve ignored for way too long..
