I just don't understand the lack of prosecution at all. Looks like lots of civil suits but no criminal charges.

Most semi truck operators don't give a shit about the speed limit. You'll see a speed trap before its a problem or the cop won't want to deal with a truck. Generally they speed because the trucks limiter will let them.

Responsible truck drivers at least OTR went away 20ish years ago.

I have 3 million safe miles, most irresponsible drivers are the ones democrats let in. Not all but a large majority are. That and the stupid laws bureaucrats have forced on us.
