    I bet they name it operation "Payday". All joking aside I am glad they are out there. Sometimes I wish they would focus more on the 4-wheelers once in a while with the same vigor.:biggrin_25512:

    They may be having this special watch, but to be honest they are pulling drivers over all day long!

    Indiana has made 1.4 million dollars alone in the construction zone on I-70. I shake my head when I see a driver on 70. You will get busted, maybe not on a rainy day, but I would not take that chance his mood may be I don't care if I get wet! I wonder if Indiana has made enough money to pay for the construction work yet? Watch out!

    On the other note: Make sure your logs are neat! Up to date & legal and you have no worries there. Also make sure your line is drawn down or up to the driving line at the time you started driving! Ok simple easy tips to avoid log violations!

    An IN cop with a bad 'tude was the one that wrote my last ticket. The cop was being a complete horse's rear end about the whole ordeal and wrote me a bogus ticket. Claimed I was doing 10 over. No that was NOT me. My truck is red and the truck that was doing 10 over if not more was purple. He passed me 30 seconds before the cop claimed he got me on radar.

    Indiana Troopers are staying busy on super I-70. I thought things were finally calming down, I thought everyone must know by now, but I was wrong. I'm still seeing 2-5 trucks pulled over everyday on I-70. That's a $500 ticket.

    I see a lot of flatbeds and tankers pulled over too.

    drove through ohio on I-71 from KY to WV. saw 3 ohio troopers with trucks pulled over.

    remember guys, with the high rate of guys running over hours, saftey issues, etc... there is a reason the state DOTs are getting worse.

    Sorry to say it but many truckers have ABUSED the freedom. Imagine if all trucks ran legal, would there even be scales?

    This problem is overall people, we have been abusing our freedom for decades and giving the government more reason to watch our every move...
