There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Finally happened. Great news

No worries. It wouldn't be the internet without misunderstandings, misapprehensions, and lousy jokes! :thumbup:
I did some googling after the fact, found some people refer to a turnaround area on the TN side right before the border, folks seem to think the TN state police will camp out there to caution truckers to take advantage of the opportunity to bugger out before heading into NC and guaranteed tickethood.
My worry is that does nothing to stop the clueless truckers just following their GPS down the road-- making the TN side still just as dangerous before that state-line turnaround. I can't imagine that a rational trucker won't hear about the NC ban and adjust their route accordingly, but then again, I can't imagine a rational trucker riding down that road even when it was completely legal, either. :yikes:

As some one in the industry, I can confirm how powerful the TN trucking lobby is. I doubt they have much to do with it though. US129 is a US highway, it would likely take the feds to pull the STAA designation. Federal maps have it listed as an approved truck route on the TN side only. Also this last year landslides closed I-40 a lot. That made the best detour almost a hundred miles further. In trucking your paid the shortest practical miles, regardless of road conditions. My company would pay the detour miles, but quite a few wouldn't. As for NC writing tickets, it doesn't matter where you entered the road if you cross the state line your subject to the fines. The companies dont care either, all the fines go directly to the driver.

I don't know about that... there are plenty of warning signs about how many curves, hairpin, no turn-arounds, etc..... I think many are simply trying to cut some time. How any driver, especially a professional driver, could miss the warning signs is beyond me.
Even on the GPS it looks scarey!
