Grumble, Bitch, Hating on UDOT


Twelve miles of I-70 in Eastern Utah. Both directions. Nobody working. Utah Department of Transportation does this constantly. When they finally get around to the paving, they manage to slow traffic to about 10 mph. Lots of fun on a motorcycle in 110 degree heat, I bet.

A few years ago, was Westbound in a pickup, at night, with an "Elk Killer" bumper. Barrels only, no pavement work started. Relocated about five miles of barrels. Very satisfying drive.

This gets real old when you are stuck behind an over sized load doing 45 mph. My work involves meeting a close schedule (think Instrument Flight Plan). Speeding is not allowed and the vehicles are all recorder equipped. Damn inconsiderate of UDOT to the traveling public.

Elk (or Bull) bumpers are fun :-)
