    These folks were doing some serious trailer trucking. I was doing my 68mph and they almost blew me off the road.

    Only time I go off duty is on my lunch break and right before I clock out for the day.

    That almost looks like it would have fit the other way a little better.....

    That's what my wife said too.

    And he isn't exactly legal. You're supposed to have flags at the outer most part of the load, front and back. I see a flag in the middle of the driver's side rear, and one at the passenger side back corner.

    The loads I’ve seen like that in the past are round rings. Pretty much the same dimensions in both directions.

    GSP pretty much let’s the supers run what ever speed they want to.

    Yessir. They hire people from all 48 if I’m not mistaken. Money is great! This winter has been a little slow but I’m regional out of Kansas and the weather has been the biggest hindrance, otherwise the freight is there it sounds like. 25% of truck gross, and my truck does between 6-10k a week. I’d say mid 7 to lower 8k would be the average.

    The few times I've had a trooper escort the first thing they ask is how fast will that truck go. This was in Georgia.
