Been through NC when the roads were bad, and the salt-shakers were sitting under the overpasses, afraid to move for that very same reason.
You KNOW the roads are bad when the salt-shakers can't make it.

shake it like a salt shaker!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=jc_Sw67uewI i got yelled at by a bunch of maverick drivers during the storm that hit idaho and oregon in early december all because i wasn't going over 50mph on the icy roadways. i was going at a steady 30 - 35mph the whole way. i saw a few of those suspected meth heads in the ditch 100 miles ahead of where the majority hollered at me, "swift, you NEED TA SPEED UP!" i'm almost convinced that the majority of bull haulers are meth heads. they drive like it.

Shoulda told'em that your truck was governed to only go that fast, and you would appreciate a push. :lol:
I mean, they should have known by the name on the truck that you weren't going to get going too fast anyways and no that's not a knock on you driving for Swift.

eh, i only had 8,000lbs in the trailer. i became sideways from a gust of wind earlier that morning near la grande, oregon. i was going 20mph at that point and couldn't find a safe spot to get the hell off the road. at any rate, i made it to where i was heading without having an accident. i can't say the same for some of those mavericks who ended up off the side of the road, rolled over, and/or jack-knifed.
