What if it Snows?

Elevation.

 

I had heard something about MT doing away with the split limits... Is there any truth to it?

 

Did you pull the trigger on another truck?? And that would be the Landstar provided Equipment for said truck???

 

Have not been paying attention since winter or so (My give a **** left me about then) I think they were making noises about it.

 

Tis True.... Bill has passed, I think they are just working to get the signage up as it wasn't changed last week on my MT run...

Montana Speed Limits Now 70 for Trucks
This week, Montana passed legislation that will increase the truck speed limit on interstate highways from 65 to 70 mph, and from 60 to 65 on non-interstate public highways.

Montana was once famous for its “reasonable and prudent” speed limit signs, in effect prior to 1974 and again from December 1995 until December 1998. After “reasonable and prudent” was ruled unconstitutionally vague, there was no speed standard until May of 1999. During all of that, however, the nighttime speed limit and speed limit for trucks remained stuck at 65–where it had been since 1987. For the first time since 1987, trucks can legally drive 70 mph, day or night.

Of the states expected to consider speed limit increases this year, Montana hadn’t gotten much attention. The bill passed the House 71-28, and 41-9 in the Senate, and was signed into law by the governor on May 10th.

Oklahoma Speed Limits as High as 80
This follows the signing of Oklahoma’s HB 1071 in April, which allows speed limits to be raised from 75 to 80 mph on turnpikes, and from 70 to 75 on rural segments of the interstate highway system. Like Montana’s legislation, the votes for passage were overwhelming: 82-12 in the House, and 27-16 in the Senate.

Montana and Oklahoma are among several states that also limit penalties for minor speeding. In both cases, speeding 1-10 mph over the limit is not assessed points or recorded on your driving record. Montana’s tolerance is reduced to 5 mph at nighttime. Ten over in Montana will result in a $40 fine; in Oklahoma the fine is $5. Be careful though–fines increase quickly, and may carry points toward suspending your driver’s license and/or result in insurance rate hikes.

 

you mailed mine, right?
