This is an old Thread, but an ongoing, ever present issue. Calif has been trying to ban smoking in the cabs of trucks for some time now as well....
It would sure be good if those doing the Study on Truck-Only Lanes and Speed Limits, would ride around in a big truck for six months before...
It seems that Homeland Security could be of better use in Mn. than in waking drivers up during their sleeper berth time in Illinois truck stops!
This is a long over due blessing. Hope they are speedy to comply. :biggrin_25517:
