How come everyone joined the convoy?


I bothered me that no one ever heard what happened back at the truck stop but everyone was on Duck's side as if they had heard his side of the story. What's up with that?

Don't wander into abandend churches for Czakyr will grab you from underneath the watery grave.

Plus they all wanted to protest the 55mph speed limit which was only a couple of years old at the time and the then problematic state laws which limited certain truckers and companies to certain areas of the country. The laws all disappeared with trucking deregulation by Reagan in the early 1980s and an interstate 65mph limit was back by the end of the 1980's in most places.

The 55mph limit for tractors and other vehicles with trailers is still in effect in many US states and locals; its just not federal law anymore.
