I drive a flat bed truck, and as most truckers will tell you we weigh about 80,000. Unlike most trucks our loads are held on by chains, and or straps and sometimes a tarp is placed over it.It is not in a box so when you speed up an cut in front us to get to an exit or to the light before us you run the risk of that load shifting, and nothing
may not happen to you but what about the truck driver or the person next to them. The speed limit does not kill or hurt but you as a driver do when you miss use it, so the next time you speed up to beat someone or climb up on their bumper, who's life or lives
did you hold in your hands when you did that. All Strickland did was even the playing field, now its up to you, so the next time you get in your four wheel ask yourself what kind of driver will I be today. Help
make Ohio a better and safer place, drive carefully
