    Dillion CO, don't go over the Dam. They will give you a Dam Ticket if you do that will cost you $50 and gets recorded the same as running a red light. Weight limit sign is the size of a sheet of paper, 8 1/2 x 11. Their reason is for homeland security, so that no one will blow up the Dam, yet they did not stop me until after I crossed the Dam.

    Well, you drivers just stay on the interstates and big cities. I feel more at home in these "hillbilly" towns...

    Bubba, I have worked #### hard to keep my driving record clean for the last 7 years. I took a #### job with a company that had a crappy Safestat score with the goal of eventually moving on to something better in a few years. I DO NOT INTENTIONALLY BREAK THE LAW.

    Well that few years is here and now... and these ####### have gone and ###### it up for me. So do I sound a little bitter? You #### well betcha.

    For sure and they are proud of it. There is a huge ### billboard as you come into town that reads 'SPEEDTRAP LAWTEY 301' or something very close to that.

    They might have changed it since hubby was there.

    Sure was frustrating when diesel was over $4 though. :biggrin_25524:

    My My My have you got alot to learn, Which in time you will LEARN but i as well as many of the others here will tell ya that "local" law enforcement agency's and the D.O.T. have figured out that the "trucking" industry is EASY pickins and a great revenue generator because they know that about 99% of tickets they write are just gonna be paid because the driver either can't get back to that particular spot on the appointed "court" date or dont have the TIME. I saw your post earlier about the "backing" and thought that maybe some of the people were a little hard on you but i think now that maybe you're one of the "know" it all types, just an opinion. I suggest maybe you spend a day or two behind the wheel of a truck living it and breathing it everyday for 20 or so years like some of "us" have before you go making comments about whether a local agency would (in your words) "actually" hide a sign. Cause im here to tell you they do far worse things than hiding signs and get AWAY with it every DAY. Just my 2cents.
