Hi Mike,
I agree--But!  The but is how fast those trucks go in some states.  Just 
finished a multiple state trip and noticed how the various speed laws and how 
they are enforced preclude how fast those trucks are driven.  I live in 
Florida which seems to be the worst.  The trucks here are allowed to travel 
at 70 on the "I" roads and the turnpikes.  I believe that because the "70mph" 
speed limit is not enforced, we have trucks traveling at 80mph plus.  When 
something happens and these trucks must stop quickly, they cannot and they 
take everything with them that's in the way.  I75 has had terrible crashes 
involving 18 wheelers and multiple deaths because of the speed involved.  
Maybe 70 is not too fast for an 18 wheeler to travel, but then the law needs 
to be enforced so the speeds don't increase to higher speeds.
