The program pairs law enforcement with truckers. Officers ride along in the trucks watching out for violations by both drivers of passenger vehicles and truckers. The officer in the truck calls ahead to additional officers in patrol units who then stop the car or truck.

I guess we better look close in the jump seats, eh?

If it gets some of these wreckless fools off the road,,I don't care if the Pope wants to ride shotgun and make calls,,shoot I'll even let him use my phone. I get passed far too many times only to have these so-called-professionals swerve in on me long before they are even past me.Personally I am tired of hitting the shoulder because some airhead is texting rather than using his or her mirrors..And if it will educate a few 4 wheelers then that is a plus in itself....
Here at BigR I am an ""Right-lane Daddy"" and expect all who pass to stay in your lane until you are safely past me,,not coming in on me as soon as your tractor clears my BigR unit..

It has started in MA!

I-290 had speed trap yesterday w/ (4) 2-wheelers and 5 cruisers. They had (1) rig on the side.

I don't remember the last time I saw M/C as part of the trap...!
