      You should see out in ca. more traffic and yet they keep taking roadway away from us making it all use. Just come in and eliminate lanes all together making it for bicycles and pedestrians who pay no road use tax like vehicles do. They want us afoot or on busses ! Over 100 degrees where I live , and unsafe on busses. Commie fools. No common sense. Not what I voted for. No freedom.

      It may seem like that in this video but if you watch his previous videos, you will also notice most trucks pass him but in this video, he explains why trucks were slower this time around. Obviously, you haven't watched much of Kurt's video, as you wouldn't have thought he wasn't courteous if you did.

    I AGREE
    MANY "STUPID RULES"
    I also park on the ON ramp not the off ramp, to me vehicles and trucks go slower, don't like to sleep in truckstops anymore
    Never ever drive on LEFT lane if it says NO TRUCKS, and it is true, the have abused the No Truck Parking rules
    Is great that you share your opinion and clear things for others, dont do as I do, do as I say. Breaking rules can be expensive, and I am cheap!!
    You sounded happy, listening to you singing on your way home, was also, EPIC 🥰

  • @DOCIN73
    @DOCIN73 Місяць тому

    From what I have read is that the express lane is temporary , while they widen and replace bridges on 465 , That said, It has been on the books for maybe 25 - 30 years that semi's can not drive in the left lane except to pass another vehicle and that applies to all interstates Indiana . Back when I was hauling a lot of grain to Indy , it was that way and that has been a long time ago .
    As far as parking on the on/off ramps , you could be opening yourself up to legal action if you park there and a car slam's into your ass end , that is one of the main reasons they put up the NO Park sign , for safety of blind drivers I guess they can't see your marker lights - Keep on trucking ! btw , I live 15 miles south of G-Field .

  • @jimbates955
    @jimbates955 Місяць тому +1

    New to the channel…I’ll weigh in on the traffic infractions…I wouldn’t drive in the express lane or left lane if prohibited primarily because if I get pulled over the delay would be longer than if I had used the non express lane, besides, the cops have other fish to fry. Also, it’s dangerous to be stopped on the highway, and there are road ragers out there who might cause an unsafe situation for myself, and other drivers by inflicting their own brand of stupidity justice on me for breaking the law…now for parking on the ramp, I would do that all day or night if I’m tired, and I’m confident I could talk my way out of a ticket. I’d put my safety triangles behind the truck, and maybe even light a flare for added safety. Just my 2 cents. Stay safe, calm and always drive defensively.

    • @jimbates955
      @jimbates955 Місяць тому

      Just had a thought, not sure if there’s a liability issue if you get in an accident while in an illegal lane for trucks where the other driver is at fault, are you liable because if you weren’t in the illegal lane, the accident never would’ve happened? This also includes illegal parking on the ramp, if someone hits you, are you liable? A lot of these laws for truckers are safety issues, so if an accident happens it might not be worth the hassle to infract the traffic laws…an accident is an accident, you’re not going to get in an on purpose, and some people look to cash in on an accident if they see an opportunity. You might check with your insurance company, or a lawyer regarding this

I had a deal with one of the scrap yards here that when they had loads that were too small for their trucks, they called me. I made good money until the prices got too crazy.

    The clip you showed in construction on the NE side of 465, you weren’t in the express lane. The express lane is about a mile north of where you were at the time and has concrete walls on both sides and isn’t wide enough for a semi. It skips about 4 exits and it’s a temporary lane during the 3+ year construction project.

    But with the paper log you can plan your stops where you actually want too. I understand what you are saying about passing other trucks. Your truck is heavy enough with your load at this particular load and the trucks you are passing are probably much lighter in weight. About parking on a on or off ramp. Just set up a couple of cones or triangles and you won't have a problem. Trust me it works. If you get checked well you had a problem that couldn't wait until you arrived at a travel center or rest area. Safe traveling on the two lanes or the big roads!!!

  • @charleswatson336

    Schmidt you might rethink driving in those toll no-truck landes. The fine for trucks driving in restricted no truck lanes are big. In Maryland, a truck driver was jailed. States are desparate for $ and creating no truck express lanes has become a major money maker. On the east and west coasts special toll lanes are popping up everywhere. There likely to begin to move west.

      The shoulder on interstate highways is for emergencies, it’s not a parking lot for tired travellers. imagining driving 60+ mph and having a tire blow out, which happens often to all vehicles or some other mechanical problem and you need to get pulled over and off the highway and out of the way.
      but you can’t pull off the highway safely because there’s vehicles parked there while it’s inhabitants have a sleep. There’s rest areas and service stations along the way for that. Emergencies are the exception, like medical or mechanical emergencies.
