    My sarcasm didn't translate well into the written word. My point was to highlight the absurdity of the thought (that's why I put the word causing in quotes).

    I don't have GPS, but our new Qualcomm units coming next year will have it, and I don't plan to use it much.

    Less government is "gooder" I think the more they get involved the more problems will occur. They have ruined trucking enough!!!!!!!!! among other things.

    I guess if truckers keep hitting bridges it's "gooder".

    (sarcasm)....

    "gooder" (joking) anyone hitting an object that can't move should not be driving...........All I'm saying that the more the government gets involved the more problems develop. Stop hitting bridges they did nothing to you!

    This is almost as good as one of the roads I got on in PA a couple weeks back. 20 miles down this winding small road I encounter a sign "low clearance ahead 13'3" 1/4 of a mile further i see the sigh again. Nowhere after the signs is there a place to turn off the road OR a place to turn around. Why not place signs like this before you take the ###### exit??

    I also have a friend who got a ticket in PA last week for being on a restricted road. The thing is that there was NO sign saying it was restricted until you go about 5 miles down the road.

    Face it all we are to some of these local bureaucratics and police is a rolling ATM machine.

    The whole system is rigged against us especially with the new rules coming in.

    Yeah well, according to me 99.999% of bridge strikes are cause by being a #######.
