So I'm a truck driver and I've found that music just can't keep my attention, I don't know if you'd be into it but audiobooks are the only way I can avoid doing this because I gotta know what happens next and if I switch it up I can't find out until later.

So I'm actually a truck driver as well and I live right there, I got stuck in this and my initial thought was the same as yours. Turns out he actually went through a weigh station about a mile before this sign and his dump trailer was down. It's pretty baffling that this could happen at all while he was driving. It should have put his truck immediately into derate and dropped him to 5 mph when he activated the dump bed from in the cab. He was charged with reckless driving and he'll probably lose his CDL (as he should) but there will probably be a serious investigation into how this could have happened at all.
You'd think they'd just pass the cost of the better test on at an 8000% markup like they do with everything else.
This is democracy manifest.
