    A friend of mine told me while he driving through Indiana earlier today. That the Indiana State Police and D.O.T. are pulling over trucks like crazy as far as I know it ain't a blitz going on to my knowledge. They been pulling over trucks like crazy for the past 3 months. Make sure you guys got your stuff together. Just thought I pass the warning to you guys.

    The State Police are the DOT officers. Don't fly through the no fly zone ;)

    i could agree with this, i ride thru indiana on 30 every monday and friday and have been noticing a lot of trucks pulled over all along the stretch. Saw a prime truck pulled over with 3 state troopers behind him. Wonder what he did to deserve 3 of them? We all know it wasnt speeding.

    It's not about safety or nothing against truck drivers it's all about revenue for the state that's why they are out there and they think they are more than what they doing. State troopers talk and act like they are God

    LOL.... That's actually a stretch of road prime can speed on the speed limit is 55 in a lot of areas you know he was flooring it doing the whole 62... LOL

    I've always said that Indiana is #1 in my opinion for pulling the most trucks over... I get a good laugh when these dumb drivers come flying through the toll area where its reduced to 45 instead of slowing down for one or two miles... They make a ton of money off of trucks in those area's...

    Once you get east of Valprasio (if thats spelled right), which is east of indiana 49. Its actually 60 mph until you go thru the occaisonal town. I think from IN 49 to Fort wayne it gets reduced down to anywhere between 45-55 about 7 different times.

    And I agree with you about the toll booths, it amazes me how ignorant people can be. If only theyd pull over their 4 wheelers. Im starting to wonder if Indiana is having a competition with the Chicagoland drivers for USA's worst drivers.

    If one is following the law and their equipment is in compliance then nobody has anything to worry about.
    Annoying trucks lol if one is pulled over for a random it's a random its december expect it everywhere. It the end of the year.
    Be nice and expect it in return ,..............if violations are found correct them as you should have already noted them .
