North Carolina’s proposed speed limit increase from 70 to 75 mph might save truckers up to 40 minutes on their routes, and while many see this as an efficiency boost, some truckers have already devised questionable ways to spend their newfound free time.
One driver, who’s spent the last decade inhaling meals at record speed, has declared, “Finally, I can take my time and add something to my sandwich other than sadness.” He reportedly used his extra 40 minutes to thoughtfully assemble a turkey club with a side of contemplation.
Meanwhile, another driver saw the time savings as a chance to make history – by finally passing an online test to become an ordained minister. “It’s something I’ve been meaning to do,” he said. “Now I can legally officiate my ex-wife’s wedding to her new boyfriend. We’re in a good place.”
Other truckers have taken even more unconventional approaches. One has committed to memorizing every highway exit name in America, claiming it’s “the ultimate power move at truck stop trivia nights.” Another has vowed to use the time to send cryptic CB radio messages about government conspiracies – purely for entertainment.
Despite the celebrations, some skeptics worry that 40 extra minutes of free time could lead to more questionable decision-making. “The last time I had extra time on my hands, I bought a parrot that only insults me,” admitted one driver. “I don’t trust myself with this kind of freedom.”
As North Carolina legislators debate the bill, truckers nationwide are preparing for a future where they might actually have time for activities beyond fueling, driving, and existential dread. Whether that future includes more gourmet sandwiches, bizarre career changes, or highly unnecessary trivia knowledge remains to be seen.
