    I had one in southern Illinois on I-57 the infamous last 30, 69 in a 55 zone, and one in Arkansas same speed on back road!

    Those are maybe 15 years ago and i still have the receipt to show in case someone says i haven't pay!

    Why do some folks get hung up on this 'enemy state' thing in regards to posts like this OP?
    Has anyone ever considered actually doing the speed limit?
    I know that is a new concept for many but it looks great on your CSA score, saves you you money in fines,court,time and if you do not get tickets, you might actually get that company safety bonus or award. Since I was 16 and started driving there have been few times I have ever sped and NEVER in a big truck. Just saying.....

    Good thing to do! how much was the fine then? do you know what it is now? In Virginia the fines have increased so much they even established a payment plan for offenders!

    Maybe that's why my trainer dropped me off the next day back at the terminal after getting his speeding ticket !?

    Thanks for sharing. you've been so sweet.

    That's super, where do you mostly run? Do you drive for Prime? I doubt any of them have speeding tickets either! Seriously though but have you ever gotten stopped for anything? Newbies want to know, thanks.

    Nope they'll keep you just under the mileage also required for any bonus.

    I have gotten bonuses for actually DOING the speed limit as well as other safety factors. There is not one excuse for someone to be speeding, outside of a life and death matter. Common sense.. an 80,000 vehicle speeding is not a good idea tickets aside. Then again common sense...is not so common anymore.
