I travel this particular route pretty often and I have yet to see any truck or anyone else for that matter get a ticket for speeding. As a matter of fact, just about everyone speeds ((60-70 mph) through here. Right after the speed limit was first lowered, I religiously set my cruise control on 50 mph and watched everyone else including trucks pass me like I was standing still. After all the accidents this area has had with trucks and the damage that has been done to our interstate, this area definitely needs to be patrolled but I can't see that this is being done.
I hate to disagree but I travel through the junction 2x a day, 5 days a week. Out of those 10 times I see the unmarked cops with people pulled over at least 14 to 16 cars worth. Definitely a speed trap.
