    Your not telling me anything. I've been preaching this for weeks. I see 2-6 trucks pulled over at any given time on I-70. Normally there's no less than 4 troopers working that section of the interstate at anytime, I've seen as many as 10. Once you pass the I-465 south, and I-65 North exit your stuck on super I-70. The toopers wait at the East end of the construction zone in their cars. When a truck comes by they just step out of their cars and waves the trucks over for their ticket. There's normally 1-2 troopers wating further up on I-70 just in case someone ignores their orders. I've never seen anything like it. There were 3 trucks pulled over this morning, and I seen 2 more trucks heading for the troopers.

    I hate that section of road. I used to drive for Schneider and they have an OC right there at the intersection of I70 and 465. Now you have to get off near 465 and 65 and go through the business district to get to the terminal, or hammer down and hope the troopers miss you...LOL.

    And I am here to say he is TELLING THE TRUTH! That is so weird to me that you drive that route daily to. I am always nervous they will be pulling me over. I think I will get a ticket before it is all said and done.
    If there is anyone ignoring the speed it is me. I know to slow down towards the end:biggrin_25520:

    I try to go the posted 45 speed limit, after almost getting run over I stopped. I go 60 like everyone else now. There was a mercedes this morning that was whipping through traffic like a nut. He was going at least 70 miles an hour. The Troopers seem to be ignoring the speeders. I've seen a few cars pulled over, not very many though.

    I live in Carthage, near Knightstown. My wife works out by the airport and I work at Lilly tech. center. So I'm on I-70 everyday. lol

    I went there a couple of weeks ago to talk to them. It's seemed like a nice terminal. I guess you have to take Pendelton Pike (strip club row) down to Shadeland to reach the terminal now.
