    No you didn't, that is impossable, you know that . I know that and DOT knows that. You may have logged it but you sure as heck didn't do it. Never seen a truck that went from zero to 65 in zero seconds. Never seen a truck that did 65 up hill down hill always 65. Not to even mention what states you drove in, was the speed limit 65, no scales were open. Come on who do you think you are kidding.

    actually what also works really really good, a couple of donations to your state Police Protective Assoc. or similar. Used to donate $50 every year, got a neat little sticker to put on my vehicle, the more you donate the prettier the sticker got. Turned a 67/35 with 8 pts and $600 fine into a $75 No Seatbelt in my pickup.

    Thats the beauty of paper logs. And its up to the DOT to prove otherwise. If you get inspected and the DOT questions you, simply state how you logged it is how it was. They want you to slip up and admit something. The key is not to.
