Well Bret4207 I for one thank you for being out there. It keeps our roads safe. We all know what a mad house it would be with no enforcement. I got over 2M miles in a truck and yes I have had my run in with the DOT before but never for something I knew about in advance. But I challenge you to a truthful answer to a question.

We need one law for every state so all know what the laws are. This $hit of every state having a different law and the laws written so even a lawyer can not understand them is the root of the whole problem and makes for a lot of sour apples.
