    From what I recall the WK was already taken off when I started driving commercially in 87. The other toll roads in Ky still had tolls until the mid 90’s.

    Looking at these pictures helps remind me that retirement was the right choice!

    I believe in cameras and back up cameras for those cameras. The picture is a cheap Amazon $100 special that goes to my IPhone. Nexar is the brand name but it works very well. I also had a 4 Camera system that was hard wired and saved to the memory that was Falcon Electronics. That system paid for itself 10 times over when I was sideswiped because it showed all 4 sides of my rig. It got me paid for 3 weeks of loss of use I wouldn’t have gotten without the video evidence.

    But I agree wk to dyersburg to 155 is much better than dealing with Memphis and Nashville. I’ve even gone to popular bluff and picked up 67. I hate that stretch of 40 from Memphis to little stone.

    That was back when I first started driving too. I remember those$1.00 or $1.25 toll booths on the Natcher. They were on the Audubon between Owensboro and Henderson too. Back then I used to think how laughable it was paying $1.25 tolls compared to the $20+ they ripped us for up on the east coast. Even that $20+ seems laughable now. I can't imagine what the tolls are like between Baltimore and NYC anymore.

    I have one in my pickup and won’t ever drive any vehicle without a camera recording.
