684 Monday from Helena, MT to Green River, UT. I15 to US6 to I70. Running all legal speed limits and traffic through Salt Lake.

FYI... Ear buds are a big no no. First off it is illegal in most states to have them in both ears even in a car. Secondly, your job depends on you being able to hear when taking the DOT physical. Pumping that noise directly into your ear canal is going to do damage to your hearing. You also need to be able to hear things around you and you cannot do that when the music is drowning out the other noises such as emergency vehicles or even a tire blowout. I had one tire that blew on me, I mean throwing the mudflap 30 feet into the air according to witnesses. I did not see or feel it happen but I sure heard it. Was going slow through the gravel pit at the time so no damage because I stopped when I heard the bang.

DOT:

Department Of Transportation
