    Some areas the speed limit is slower for trucks over a certain weight and faster for the lighter trucks. With that said, it looks like he was just being an ### and only worried about his time.

    Indeed. Ran it this evening. Like 7 trucks went passed me like I was sitting still. UPS/Tforce, FedEx, a couple day cabs, some foreigners and an older Freight Shaker. I passed every single one of them before I even hit Lewistown. Got the Freight Shaker on the radio and he said it didn't matter because he was empty lol. What a fool?!

    Oh yeah, saw a plastic POS in the center ditch on westbound 80 just past the coop today too. I'm sick of what they've done to this industry and the country in general.

    Proof that stupid has no repair manual. 80 is a beautiful drive but it's one of the most aggravating roads to drive on. Especially east of the 81 interchange. I would run 422 instead but the hills west of Ebensburg aren't all that fun lol

    See this ALL the time on Homestake Pass Eastbound.
    Even had Highway Patrol follow them down the hill without so much as a warning
    from their lights.
    I'm actually surprised you raised him on your CB. Most trucks nowadays don't run Citizens Band anymore.
    Good on you for giving them your .02 though. LOL
