The flaw with that thinking is most roads have curves and hills that you can't see around or through. And my experience is if it's marked at 55 folks drive between 60 and 65 on average. Bump that same road to 60 and they now run 65 to 70 (they bumped the highway through our farm from 55 to 60 a couple of years ago).
So he's moving 11 or so MPH on a 2 lane highway, marked at 55 or 60 or in some states 65? With hills and curves? And he doesn't have to be there? That's the difference between him and a farmer. Farmer is out there cause he has to be. Most local farmers here are running tractors that will at least do 25 MPH or so too. And they restrict traffic what? 2 months or so a year? At 11 MPH shortest route, driving 8 hours a day and no dallying? Not bad on time......unless he's just going back and forth.
I don't mind him being there or doing it. But I have to go with Bob on this. Hope he has really good warning lights on his rig. Be a shame to be doing what he's doing and for some young service member to get called home to attend the funeral of a younger sibling who with a carload of friends goofing off and distracted driving ran into the back of his rig.

I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
