Way too Fast For Me!!!

[SouthernComfort]

8) Howdy All...So I have no idea what Number I am ....but as you've heard on the radio....You ain't gonna believe this S$%T but it's true....


Happened about 2 years ago I was coming out of CA with a load of garbage (Produce) and was going to Hunts Point.
Had to make my last pick in Oxnard so I figured I'd go 40 and up....so right around 2 or 2:30 in the mornin' I was headed through AZ when I noticed there wasn't a thing around me for miles...so i put my foot in it a little and before I knew it I was doin 85+.

I cruised like this all the way up to Flag when I heard a familiar voice on the radio.
I hollered back and it my runnin buddy I ran out here with.
He said "Come on Comfort I got your front door"
So I slapped the dash and mashed my gas...got going downhill on the other side of Flag...when I saw the lights of a full grown bear hittin the other side of the mountain...he had a 4 wheeler pulled over ...on my side...
So what do I do...Yep...I hit the Jake...just like ringin his phone to let him know I was comin huh?
I couldn't slow down much with all the weight i had...so I just said screw it....the wind off my trailer caught his little mount me hat and blew right off his head...he jumped in the car and gave chase....I reckon about 4 miles down the road he finnally caught up with me and pulled me over.
I could tell he was upset but I have to hand it to him....he was real professional about the whole thing...he asked me If I knew how fast I was going...I said 85...then I run out of numbers...He chuckled a little...and told me come back to his car...as soon as I got back there he showed me the display on the radar....flashing....122... I about s%$t my pants...so He wrote me a ticket and took me downtown....I was in jail till the next moring when I posted $2000 for bail and was told on my way out...never to come through Flag like that again...well to make a long story short...4 weeks later I came through Flag and there he was ...waiting...he got on the radio and asked me if I was behavin'...?


Thats my story and I'm stickin' to it

WAW! You are so cool! Your mama must be real proud of you! :shock:

[38Special]

That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. I would have loved to see that donut dealers cap fly. It's only funny because it was you and not me.

My horses are bridled at 65, but every hill I go down, I let them run. Gravity and a heavy load are great. It's too bad no one warned you.

I was traveling thru PA last year with a hot load on a beautiful sat morning on I-80. I was bobbing and weaving, running with the pack trying to make up some time, good tunes blaring in my stereo. I went down a hill in the hammer lane, almost to the bottom I heard a bear alert, looked at my speedo at 86, thru on my jake and about ****. I hit the bottom at the legal limit. Thank God, and thanks to everybody working together.

Anyway, my view is, It only counts if you get caught! Take it easy Mario!

[solo379]

I belive that suppost to be funny storys, not B/S storys! So, please, don't insult people, hwo's been in a truck more than once! :evil:

[SouthernComfort]

Really solo.

I've got more miles backing up than you do driving forward.

[littleman2]

Dude you would have lost your CDL doing 122 simple as that the only thing you would be hauling is piza hut from the store to the peoples home on a pedal bike.

[SouthernComfort]

But I didn't lose my license...and thats the point

[littleman2]

What ever :withstupid: ! Just warn me whe you go driving thru my state so I can warn my family and friends to stay a way from the Nonprofessional driver in the long nose pete! Oh BTW if have not guessed I called the Bull :dung: on your story! Because in Arizona fifteen over is wreckless driving and wreckless driving in AZ with a CDL is automatic Loss of Licence for 180 day. Good Buddie.

Hey now-that's my saying

You know they used to have a cop who liked to run that stretch from Flagstaff and Phoenix and he had a Toggle switch on his car and at nite he'd run with one light out and nobody expects a cop to only have one light so.......................

[wanderingson]

I agree with littleman2.....very un-professional. It's drivers like you,comfort,that give us a bad name.

[eddd22]

True or False? Doing 122mph.....Isnt That a felony in a semi-truck...u must be with a lenient company , either that or ur a really good driver. That would of been sweet though 122 mph in a semi...good luck

[A Diva]

:shock: : :oops: :? I just got my CDL's this month, and the story your telling doesn't make since. I respect my truck and the people around me .PLUSE I would never do anything to hurt my career in this industrue. What"s up with you? :idea: Mybe it's because I'm a women, or it could be because I love what I do< :wink: :wink: but I thank that stunt was risky and foolish. A Diva :sad:

[littleman2]

Its a false story not one bit is true. last I checked you can do 70 in AZ but I could be wrong. that would be 52 mile over that is felony reckless edangerment. instant loss of drivers licence and loss of truck. so total bs. and welcom to the wide world of trucking diva.

[solo379]

Really solo.

I've got more miles backing up than you do driving forward.

To do that, you'd have to back up at 122mph, for about 15 years!
But, don't tell, i know, you've done that too!
And, by the way, why didn't your "front door", tell you about the bear?

[yoopr]

Just another truckin tale coming from someone who thinks we all just started driving

[ronnieman49]

Well now, If he said He pulled his CHUTE when he applied his Jakes I would have believed him

[285_HEAT]

All I know is that's more than my little Impala will do. I still miss my Crown Vic!!!

[THE Phoenix]
