Folks I need your help! Is mm 12, on I80 westbound in Indiana a 4 lane road? And if so what are the truck lane restrictions there? Are trucks restricted to the right two lanes or right 3 lanes?

I avoid asking anything of the Indiana BMV
,I just did a search online and came up with nothing helpful, but I would avoid the far left lane on any 3 lane or greater road. You can ask enforcement if you happen to see one outside the truck or if stopped by them for something else. IN uses lots of sedans even for the diesel bears. They also use motorcycles and lots of unmarked cars. If anyone can come up with the statute other than what some drivers have told me, i would appreciate seeing it.
On 4 or more, I try to stay out of the left 2, but that isn't always possible, and if traffic slows to a crawl, you may end up in the left lane going around an obstruction. You absolutely don't take the shoulder (breakdown lane) to get around it after coming up on an accident except to avoid hitting someone. If you are stopped and the shoulder looks clear enough to procede, only do that if law enforcement directs you, the Hoosier Helper will not.
The Hoosier Helper is a blocking vehicle patrol that helps to keep accident sites from becoming worse.
Traffic can be very heavy on that stretch and backups quickly span miles. The 12 mm exits are for I-65 north and south. -
