Yikes Almost The officer stated that if he could find something wrong with the truck he would write the company a ticket instead of me.... I pointed out that at 'bridge length' the air supply lines to the tandems were less than 10 inches from the ground...and THAT is a chargeable offense in Indiana... He snapped some digital photos of the lines....scribbled a few notes on a tiny piece of paper and let me off.....said he was going to look into the air lines being that low... and also to slow myself down.

Yes....it was actually very scary and a close call....speeding is a BIG SLAM on ones CSA score and Western Star will take your truck for 2 weeks.
I was coming down that 8 miles hill out of Mamoth/Yosemite and got lazy on my braking and let her run away on me.
I am happy the officer cut me alot of slack...
Next time I am going to gear way way down and let the engine brake help me more.
