    True, but FAR better to reduce to the speed limit in the first place. My company terminal just lost a great driver for getting another speeding ticket in a small town. Don't put your income at risk with stupid tickets.

    I didn't carefully measure it, but I am PRETTY sure that's a round tire.

    Satisfied?

    By the way, it was a truck hauling oil field equipment that got busted in Colorado. You might think that certain sectors of trucking are immune.

    They aren't.

    And in other news, it's dark at night, dogs bark at stuff, and contrary to the opinions of some drivers the Earth revolves around the Sun.

    I think CAT must of went up, I scaled 2 days ago in TX and noticed the receipt and CAT scale ticket said $11.00. I don't care because it's paid for by company and even if I do pay at a non authorized truck stop they reimburse me anyways. I'm a scale hound, generally 30k or over I scale it, otherwise I check my air app gauge which measures the drives only, but gives me a baseline . Yeah always cheaper to scale!! One of our drivers the other week didn't want to go 8 miles opposite her direction to scale preloaded/presealed load, cost her $1250.00 to the State of NE.

    what do you mean a "Bend" airline?
    Watch out in Maryland- Young DOT kids looking to make up ####-
    tried with me a few years back- Had to School their train of Thought

    Crawled under my trailer Whispering to one another for 10 minutes.....Almiost made me think they were going at it with one another's sexual desires.

    I Said,"You 2 alright under there?? Umm,You have a Rusty brake Chamber...(In a not too sure sounding voice)

    I Sure do I replied.......Do You hear anything audible officers? Not really.

    Then get your Butts outta there- You wont make up stuff around me.....

    Maryland and Connecticut are Notorious for making up controversial DOT Infractions.

    Bend?..I'm just guessing because you said it connects tractor n trailer....are you referring to the coiled air hoses via to glad hands? On another note I got pulled in for what they thought was a kinky airline...I was in a mess with his mind mood...lol...so I put on some really nice perfume and the dude said after talking with me for 35 mins. , no that is just a tighter coiled airline than I'm use to seeing..I smiled and said okay ...to be honest I had fun with him...lol
