    Seems like nowdays if you get on the radio wanting to know if you've got any company, hardly anyone will answer you. Thought I'd start a poll, and go ahead and elaborate your reasoning.

    I've heard since most trucks are governed at 62 mph and that the "drive 55" law that dear old Mr. "I'm not a crook" Nixon imposed on us has since been repealed, there's not much use in a smokey report these days.

    Although I do hear people call them out every so often, which helps if/when I'm traveling. In a few cases I knew about the cop's trap 10 miles in advance. Yet others who didn't know were slamming on their brakes to avoid a citation.

    "Most trucks" are not governed at 62.

    65 is a pretty common speed, but not 62.

    Also, there's still lots of independents and small companies out there that run faster than that.

    What you've heard ain't exactly correct.

    You lucky football fan .....

    You stold our coach Tony dungey ..... then won a superbowl with him ....

    Last time he came to Tampa he got a standing ovation from the Tampabay fans ...
    He is a hero here to many of us who watch him build the team that was ripped out from under him and taken to the big game the next year .....

    He is a class act .......
