    all joking aside guys, remember that speed takes away distance. we who have fast trucks are familiar with the closing distance on a slow moving forward obstacle. you have to respect these trucks no matter what, and one that runs, needs ten times the respect.

    the speed is a double coin. nice to have it when you need to get away, and please remember that anyone can screw up in a 62 mph super truck. a fast truck makes it that much more dangerous. keep that in mind.

    now get outta my way im hammer down prowling around in the left lane in a town near you.

    Anybody know what happened to all the camera's in Arizona? At one time, it seemed like there was a camera every 10-20 miles and all around Phoenix.

    Now that I think about it, Houston had a bunch of speeding camera's too at one point. My last trip through this last March, I didn't see any (unless I didn't pay attention this time).

    I gotta be honest. Ohio doesn't bother me anymore since they raised the speed limit to 65 on the interstate and toll road. And they closed down some of their scale houses. But, I don't run through there much anymore, too.

    I'd take Ohio over California any day, that's for sure!!

    There is your problem, your going to Cleveland. Dirty city.. with idiot people. Dunno where your heading from, but make sure you don't hit 480 between 6 and 8.. it's not to bad, but the people are idiots. I always leave @ 4 a.m. when I have a preload for Cleveland.
