Which States are the unfriendliest to truckers?

Watch out for those plain wrapper GT Mustangs in IN . Those things have paid for themselves 100 times over . On I-64 there's usually the maroon one and a full grown working between the 80 and 100 mile markers . There's usually quite a bit of protection on I-64 . Also the "no fly zone" on I-65 for about 10 miles north of the KY line .

 

cali and ohio

 

Everybody knows that it is Cali, and Ohio.(55,55,55,55.)No tolerance at all.Money making revenue and that's it.

 

Louisiana, along I-10...after 7:00pm...your lucky to find a place to park.
Their rest areas are little slithers, right next to the interstate...

Colorado scales are very picky also...

I usually judge a states friendlinest (I know I know..that's not a word) by how big or well maintained their rest areas are...

I once got pulled over in Louisiana...cause I crossed a center line...and the next thing I knew...there was 6 sqaud cars behind the truck...Dot, police, county, state...undercover cars...

And in the end...they let me go without a ticket...I guess they were just bored...

 

The state I hate going to the most is NY. The entire state.

 

Right lane in Ohio runs a steady 60 m.p.h. . Anybody going 55 gets passed .

 

I have never had any trouble in CA.
I go thru Truckee often, Wheeler Ridge just as much. the 4 times i have been pulled around back, the Staff has been friendly and Professional.
One even asked me what it was like to live in Utah, at the time i had been living in SLC. He was wondering, because he wanted to apply at the scales. A t the UT/ AZ Line.

Iv'e lost track of how many times i have done 60 in CA. and get passed by CHP. I hear on the radio, ofht ebear's 20, yet as go by, he/ she doesn't look at me.

AR. the rudest bunch of bears i have ever ment. No Politness of any type. What happened to Southern Hospitality?

Iowa, nothing but farmers supplementling thier farm income.
Will write you up for a mispelled wrod on the log. I saw a driver get wrote up.

Nebraska, gung ho group here, out for the bust if you sneeze wrong.


In short run leagl, talk to them professional, don't start off this way,
What the #### are you puling me in for?


For the cooment of those states that have no idle,, well hate to say it, more and more are going that way.

Get an apu, some your self some money and heart ache

 

Ayup!!! You're absolutly correct. As far as Ohio being a southern state, it depends on your perception. LOL. But I sometimes wonder if they don't pump saltwater somehow to Ohio. It would explain the attitude of a lot of places I've visited there. Oh, and to be fair, us from northern Michigan feel that anything south of Bay City, is still northern Ohio!! LOL

 

I draw my line across M55. Crosses Cadilac and Houghton lake area. North of that, yes. South, Ugh...

 

Yeppers, that still works!!! LOL
