    Stopped at the rest stop and noticed there were yellow frame sensors and frame sensors at the entrance and exit for the trucks. Any idea what these are for?

    Well we know that. LOL. Trying to figure out why at both entrance and exit? Maybe looking for cars? Nothing like this for cars.

    Seems like some posted a comment about a month or so ago about cameras being put up at one of the rest areas in TN around the Knoxville, or Nashville area. Wonder if it has anything to do with the area being so nuclear with areas like Oak Ridge. Big brother getting ready for something???

    That is possible. This was north bound FWIW. Somebody from that area will chime in I'm sure.

    I remember reading something about this on a rest area on 75 in Ohio as well recently on the forum. Think it was up closer to Toledo.

    I would bet cash money it will be related to rest stop security. Being a former counter intelligence agent know they would not be this obvious if it were related to national security. On the exit there is a camera capturing the license plate. Personally I think this is not a bad thing.
