Green Dash Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 That's quite a climb heading east out of Uniontown. I once tried to obey the 10 mph speed limit on the way down and damn near fell asleep. Pitt Ohio routes us via 68 and 79 when running between Washington, PA and Cumberland, MD, which is 35 miles longer.Now everything was fine til this....there went my coffee.

That's been the speed limit down that mountain since the 70's, kinda made sense then but not now. Back then there was no bypass around Uniontown, you had to go thru Hopwood, and nobody had an engine brake. Now there's both. When I unload in Oakland, Md. and have to go to Pittsburgh to load I go down that sumbitch 10 mph. The Pa. DOT nabbed me once about 20 years ago-I was empty- doing 17 mph, and it cost me hundreds of dollars. The DOT man said "the sign at the top says you have to use the lowest gear you've got!"I was driving a T800 KW with a 444 Cummins,18 spd. at the time. I told him '' if I did that I wouldn't get here until tomorrow". He said "I don't care, that's what you're supposed to do!"That's when I realized safety had nothing to do with it, it's all about the money.

Fortunately, most of LEO's are asleep at night so I've been dealing with that nonsense much less these days. They will sit on the westbound Cooper's Rock on ramp and go after any truck that passes by on the interstate for not making the mandatory stop.When I delivered Wal*Mart groceries for Schneider I once had to go from Oakland, MD to Mount Pleasant, PA. They routed (and paid) us to continue up 219 from Grantsville to the PA TPKE, then over to New Stanton. They didn't trust us on the hill, I reckon.
