How did I miss this? Can now use personal conveyance to leave a shipper loaded

Elog can mean ELD or AOBRD. Which one do you have?

Some of them may be de-rated but emissions problems have been around since 2008 and I didn't see too many running down the shoulder then.

 

Deleted....didn't see the reply.

 

DEF/SCR NOX conversion started 2012, maybe 2011. That is the device that "legally requires" a derate to 5mph if initial notifications are ignored. Controls for emissions from EPA requirements started in the 90's with the first ECM's on engines. My 98 N14 Celect Plus had more emissions controls than the prior N14 Celect.

 

I once traveled on the shoulder from State Line of PA to Carlise- Chambersburg on 81 at a painful 8 to 15 mph max after my fuel pump developed a seal leak in one of the O rings now open to outside atmosphere. It was rain showers that day and G'Burg was my goal through the woods A drop of water splashing up there is enough to cause a total brick and require a heavy tow recovery.

What I had witnessed first hand as the frontal passage approached me at a major intersection at the gate of Navy base depot and how it remained dry in a perfect square for me to pass through and reach dry pavement in about 200 yards despite a absolute roaring storm in answer to my prayers I testify there is a living God.

I would have absolutely snarled that whole gate, traffic in 4 directions for hours until the come with a tow vehicle to get this dead thing out of there. Be the laughing stock of the dutch country.

Here in Arkansas you do not run the shoulder. Because there are bolts, screws and scrap metal big enough ruin your tires and they will. It's not worth it.
