   The state of Florida states that they only build truck stops for one reason:
"They pay for them self."

   Mississippi's "trucker blackmail" is legend.
   The state of Florida seems to instruct police officers to take it easy
on ticketing truck drivers because "it's their lively hood."  But they
fine them for every little pound of overage whenever they can.
