i found out today my 2020 Kenworth T880 is no good for the Turnpike. i was the slowest truck on the road, doing the federally mandated speed limiter setting of 65 MPH.
i staid in the right lane with my emergency warning lights on, but still almost got rammed over 10 times.

The cat is right there on the bottom, so the last bolt won't come out.
I had a pry bar trying to convince the cat to give some clearance, and Tom came up and sat on the pry bar.
CRACK
The bottom of the aluminum oil pan busted out
The 5w20 I put in there yesterday ain't in there no mo...….

I bet the look on his face was priceless when he realized that. He was thinking "I finally got by that ahole in the dump truck and I will pull in front of him..hahaha...oh sheit!!!!!... there is a damn trooper and I am screwed. Do I keep going and pass the trooper or try to squeeze in between him and the dump truck that I just passed????"
