Used to drive double bottoms tankers out of Lake Station, Indiana to Michigan. 130,000LBS and catch 13th at 85MPH. OHHHH YESSS do I miss it. Gave up the trucking business in the early 80's and switched to heavy equipment. I can still see the Indiana cops point at the double tankers coming back empty from Michigan to Indiana. (They didn't go up that way:grin We would catch highway 80 (no weigh stations until Michigan) just before the 94 ramp. Had one guy get on 94 and ended up with a $6000.00 fine. 130,000lbs on a 73280lbs road back then.:smt021
