    I've done it, but we had a drop yd close to town, I was told you must have paper work to show why your off 285 going thru on 75 if stopped, I've also gambled and went 75 thru with no incedent. Never did here from anyone what the fine would be

    There was a thread on this awhile back.

    From what I remember, you may get away with it a few times. You may get stopped by a cop at random, or sometimes they set up for it inside the loop and pick off truckers as they enter the loop.

    I think the fine went up. A lot.

    Just what I heard, I have no written references.

    I just stay on 285. It sucks, but....

    I ran up and down the 75 quite a few times not knowing that I wasn't allowed to do so... then I realized and went one more time anyways and this time I saw 2 trucks pulled over.

    Needless to say I was ####ting bricks until I got past the loop. haven't done it again and to be honest.. its far more convenient just taking the loops because when its traffic its traffic everywhere.

    Better question: if a driver has doubts, why does he come on here seeking validation for something he may get a ticket for?
