Ozona, Tx. Yes Spokeskitty.It's on I 10. Lol. Not that there is a lot of traffic mow, but years ago,especially at night yoi could drive for miles and not see another set of headlights.

@Peterbilt1955 isn’t the speed limit restricted for trucks on I-10? If I remember, that sucked when I was with my buddy on a trip

@Spokeskitties75 Not anymore. From El Paso county line to about Kerrville the speed limit is 80 for everyone. Texas finally realized how dangerous that split speed limit was and did away with them.

@Peterbilt1955 shows you how long it’s been since I hit I-10... thank God they did that. Makes me want to haul a load across Texas now

Put it this way. In a car El Paso to San Antonio is only a 6 hr. Drive. Most trucks cant run 80, so its still 8 hrs for them.

@Peterbilt1955 still a long run. I don’t think I’d wanna run 80 heavy anyway... even if the truck could. But if I remember, it was 75 for cars and 65 for trucks... which was exhausting.

@Spokeskitties75 In the 80' it was 60 daytime..55 at night.Fortunately back then there were just a handful of State Troopers to cover thousands of miles of highway out there.For me ? I am usually grossing somewhere between 120 and 140 thousand. I rarely go over 62.
