    The 285 bypass: has anyone missed it, said #### it, and just drove their truck right on through Atlanta? I bet it happens.

    I ve done it a few times. As long as you re not doing anything to attract attention to yourself, you ll be fine. Then again, if you get pulled over you better have a legit reason

    I did on accident once. Everything turned out great. Next time I just said oh well . Each time it got easier until...... 400.00 dollars later I learned my lesson. That was about 20 years ago.

    I used to live about 90 minutes out of Atlanta. In fact with the exception of my Air Force days lived in that town from 1964 till 2013. I have worked in and out of that area going back to the 80s. I have also watched Drivers in court not only charged with violating this but the being in the left lane laws. Use just about every excuse known. EVERYONE but one was convicted and paid fines. The one that got off the cop admitted the driver was forced into the lane. DO NOT believe that crap and myths being spread. Do it, get caught and you are going to pay!

    I used to do it all the time when I first started with Werner. I'm talking 6 months of straight i20 to Somerville, SC until I found out you can't do that. I haven't done it since lol.
