    Well, you can jump all over me but... The road is SHARED by all of us, his company pays the same taxes yours does but of course YOU are so much more important than any other driver out there... and of course I am also positive that you have never made a mistake of done something that another might consider less then PROFESSIONAL???? BTW, by your own admission you were breaking the law anyway... doing 75 in a 70????

    Ahhhh yes... the PRO has spoken, please post the video, I for one would love to see how close you were tailgating on top of the speeding....

    Blast away....

    Personally I don't run a cb unless I'm at a shipper or an accident just because of all the people sewing #### and conspiracy theories. Can't blame people not having their CBS on all the time like the old days.

    My tmc truck is governed for 62mph, it doesn't bother me at all, I get pass by everything, there are times where someone will run right up next to me and it's going less than 1mph than me, I'll back off the throttle and let the go, I don't like sitting next to another truck through turns, even less so when most of them are swerving through that turn

    Interesting.....Please post the whole video....11 miles??? I drive for Averitt, for the last 11 years to be exact. The trucks are governed 62mph on the pedal, 65/66 on the cruise. One of the bad things about running a slow truck is getting stuck behind a SLOWER vehicle, waiting for traffic to clear, pulling out to pass and the A-HOLE decides to speed up when your just about to complete the pass, in the mean time traffic starts piling up behind you. Then as you back off, slide in behind the SOB slows down. This happens more often than not. Of course when you add a simplistic REDNECK MORON or THIRD WORLD trucker from CHICAGO into the mix with a so-called fast truck, things do get interesting. The reason most Averitt drivers do not listen to the CB is that the garbage on the channels add NOTHING to their day. BTW...FOR YOUR INFORMATION...I do pay attention to what I'm doing going down the road, if your unhappy with what I do, when you pass go ahead an flip me the finger, it shows your TOTAL IQ, make sure to take a picture, so you can remind yourself how much I care about what you think.

    Gunner makes a great point. Stop the peeing contest, back off the throttle and let the other truck pass. Common courtesy would go a long way in this industry if we all showed more of it.
