    Back then 99% of them stayed in the right lane and traffic flowed much better. Not anymore! Lol!

    Back then, when you mentioned the Monfort lane, you didn’t get as many dumb looks as you do today for sure….

    vehicles crashing is no reflection on speed limits but the inattention and poor skills of drivers

    after spending 13 years as a HV driver trainer and putting a semi on a skid pan every week, I don't think a longer wheel base would have helped at all

    Ever had a 250” or more on a pad ? I’ve driven the same trailers and loads on a short and Lind wheelbase trucks the longer trucks handle better…..

    But anyways I guess the speed limiter should be adjusted by satellite for road conditions…..
