    I wonder what happens if you get an overspeed over 72. I was going down an unusually steep hill and my mind was on other things...looked down to see I was doing 75... oops.

    Not anymore. Lots of those ####### are going 61-61.5 now. Pisses me off to no end.

    I've been well over 70 several times and (knocking on wood) I've never heard a thing from safety. Not that I'd ever admit to it publicly... or did I just do that...

    I'll run right up to 70 if trying to get around a 61mph Prime truck, but I never let it go over that.

    But with a mom, that I'm quite close to, that may have Alzheimer's... at 56... well, I'll just throw the words "emotional stress" out there and let y'all figure out the rest. Last time I went home, she was having trouble holding conversation.

    You're on the Shaffer side, right?

    I've been to NYC once. And that one time, they said "yes" to my inquiry over the q/c as to whether they'd pay my overlength-overwidth fines should I incur them. Usually that results in the preplan being cancelled. Guess that was an important load and they had no one else to move it.
