No. I talked to a Ham buddy who just so happens to be a cop. He said most
cops don't bother with truckers because they don't know enough about
trucking law specifically so they don't like to mess with them. The other
thing that I have to give the truckers is it sure doesn't make much sense
to have trucks going 55 MPH, posted truck speed limit, when 4 wheelers
are doing 70 MPH, posted speed limit, and having the 4 wheelers
constantly weaving in and out of the right lane passing the slow moving
trucks. I get sick of doing it when I'm on the road and have to drive a
few hundred miles to get to a customer's site. It would make more sense
for all the traffic to be doing roughly the same speed.

The Ohio Turnpike just raised trucks to 65 mph and lowered their gate
fees a tad. Truckers were avoiding the green stamp, so it's all about
the money.
