Fl state troopers not a fan of rigid industries

[6.2]

Now where the oil field boom is going on here like a previous guy said is flat dangerous. Our traffic fatality rate went from 22 fatalities in Dimmitt County in 2008 to 205 in 2012. The big rig traffic has torn the roads up so bad that there is no longer room to drive in two directions on many, and an 18 wheeler fully loaded doesnt flinch when playing chicken. Thats why I own a raptor, so I can safely go completely off the road at speed as I am a road contractor trying to scramble to fix all these roads. They literally get torn up a week after we rebuild them.

lol, you wanna see torn up roads from truck traffic?

look at what the roads do to trailers up here. tons of truck traffic, going over frozen swamps that aren't frozen underneath. constantly being beat into submission, HUGE moguls, these roads get beat up days after they are open, and they dont get rebuilt till the next season. they cant be rebuilt, its swap. what you get, is what you get for the full season. All i know is, i wouldn't wanna be a trucker driving them.

these pics are from a local trucker who drives these roads constantly.
and the things in the pics are not from bad driving. simply bad roads.

theres a reason running the winter roads pay so much. highest risk there is. which is why so many souther truckers come up to do it. big bucks. far worse than any texan roads i can almost guarantee that. no cell service half the time, no other life for miles and miles, if you get stuck, you could be there for a long ass time.

I'll run my 20" Rigid when the roads are not well lit....or if some jackalope cuts me off.

It should be noted that the FL trooper approached his lights too fast for him to react.

I'd be willing to wager a bet the cop was speeding, probably by at least 15mph. So even if he killed the light immediately upon seeing another vehicle's light, and even if he should have had enough time to respond if the car were traveling the normal rate of speed, the trooper probably closed that gap quicker than normal by breaking the law himself

Give the guy a break. Cop needed to get his ******* out of a ***.

We've been known to throw them on when no one is around.

But here is the Netix comet that was chasing us at the snowball.

lol 6.2 right on.....


roads in the north are all built on swamps... thats why they are all seasonal.
some are just dirt layered with gravel and swamp to both sides that will swallow a whole car.

ive seen some pretty crazy shit in Canada that americans dont dream about.

I run my fogs non stop unless I'm in town don't need extra light in town.

was talking to a local trucker, the drivers from ice road truckers are all in manitoba this year from what i understand. no more alaskan "ice roads"
they were jackknifing, getting stuck, hugh had to be pulled out of a snowbank early on. just hilarious.

of course, none of that shit will make the snow.

I was doing some local trucking for a guy with his truck and I hollered out IRT baby and I got no response. damn near took the mirror off a few times you have to pass so close on the gravel roads. and going in and out of ditches to get to the fields. not even close to IRT but I thought it was funny.
