I agree.Cops in this town are out on the state Highway writing tickets again at night lately.I have seen farmers pulled over by the DOT this year quite a bit.They usually prey on the dump trucks but all of those guys went broke around here so now its the farmers turn I guess.Best thing is to have everything in order,lights burning,dont get mouthy with them.I know its hard to do,but they can make it hard on you if they want to.If the farmers got to complaining about it they might back off.Until somebody makes them stop they will probably keep doing it.Also somebody sends them out there to write tickets.Its not like they just decide to pick on a group like farmers or dump trucks,they are told to by somebody sitting behind a desk somewhere.Usually who they are picking on kind of deserves it sometimes,but not always.Probably 75% parasite cop and 5% group of trucks running with obvious problems,20% trying to make more money.Lots of cell phones too and people with nothing better to do than call in on you.Some "truck drivers" pulling a grain trailer might be driving wild or running fast,or crossing the centerline,and getting called in on.Most arent pros.Met one going to town a while ago today and trailer duals were in my lane in a 45 mph curve he was obviously speeding through.I didnt call but did think about it just for a second,but meeting him had no info other than day cab truck,maybe International.I can go around the same curve with a big road tractor and 53 foot reefer and keep it on my side,why cant somebody with a day cab and a 42 foot hopper bottom keep it on his side?Things like that dont help the rest,its best if everybody drives the speed limit and stays on their side as much as they can.
