<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mathematrucker, post: 5144949, member: 4093&quot;]You&#039;ve somehow managed to correctly identify excellent antonyms for the type of thinking I employed in my simple analysis above.&nbsp; I have no idea how old you are, but I suspect your lack of perception might have something to do with the generation you belong to.&nbsp; Your reply seems to evidence an aversion to not only moderate risk-taking but teamwork as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>As my posts on these forums clearly show, I&#039;m no fan of Marten.&nbsp; But let&#039;s be clear: it&#039;s often more the driver and company together vying against the government to get the job done, than it is the driver and the government together vying against the company to get it done.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me take a shot at finding one thing you might agree with me on with regard to this topic.&nbsp; The purpose of weight regulations is to protect the roadway, right?&nbsp; Focusing in on this one aspect, how do you suppose 80,040 compares with 80,000 when it comes to roadway deterioration?&nbsp; Big difference?&nbsp; Physics and common sense tell us &quot;no.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>So in the grand scheme of things, against the backdrop of society in general, how rogue is it really, for a driver to be attempting to go down the road with an 80,040 rig?&nbsp; It really isn&#039;t very rogue at all in that sense, right?&nbsp; So in a way, are we not really talking here about passively accepting government overreach versus active dissent?&nbsp; (Actually we&#039;re not, but it kind of sounded good so I wrote it.)&nbsp; Anyway, the bottom line is I prefer to be a little rogue sometimes when I know it benefits both me and my employer, even if it means taking on a tiny little bit of extra personal risk of getting socked with a citation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, the simplest analogy is speeding.&nbsp; You never drive over the speed limit?&nbsp; I know there are a few people out there who never do, but I (and most everyone else) am not one of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
