    wow they sure are fuss pots at Jimmy's place mobile phone ticket, speeding ticket , etc etc i mean who can really hold there hand up and cry that there perfect, sure they'll be lots say "oh but i've got a clean sheet but they don't admit how they've hired attorney's to get them off the hook, or they've been speeding and just simply gotten away with it. I did a whole year driving OTR never once got issued a ticket however was i clean no way , i was speeding all the time had various log book infringements and missed going into the Port of entry at least 3 times ( which to this day don't know why the police never came after me) so when people say there clean i simply go yeah right sure pal and pigs fly backwards in the summer time too.

    I was driving down I95 in FL and was passed by JP. Didn’t think they delivered that Far East, but it was definitely JP. He pulls over on the interstate and jumps out of his cab and speed walks towards his trailer. He was about walking about 1 ft over the white line, in the road. I didn’t have much time to lane change, but was able to because I was clear. If I didn’t lane change left, could have hit him. I’ve never seen anyone do that til now. He could have looked in his rear view and seen my blinker, but he bet on his life I’d follow through. Hes very trusting, I guess.

    i think everyone speeds a little. i drive locally, a tired old pete with 700K miles on it, i pull heavy loads up some steep grades. i think we all hammer down before the hills, or your going to creep up the hill at 30 mph. speed limit is 55, yeah i try to hit 65-70 at the bottom of the hill. am i going to stay at that speed? NO, cruise about 60.
