    OK NOT COMPLAINING BUT INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW, IS THERE ANY COMPANIES WITH SLOWER TRUCKS THAN SWIFT, WE CAN ONLY GO 62, EVEN DOWN HILL OR WE LOSE PAY IF WE LET IT ROLL FASTER THAN THAT. GOVERN SPEED COMPANY DRIVERS 62 MAX LEASE (RENTERS) 68 MAX.
    I HAVE BEEN PASTED BY CELADON,SCHNEIDER,WARNER YOU NAME IT?

    WHY IS OUR TRUCKS RUNNING BELOW THE POSTED SPEED USUALLY 65MPH? NO ONE AT SWIFT WILL ANSWER THIS?
    I'M JUST WANDERING IF THERE SLOWER TRUCKS OUT THERE :(LOL

    I assume you barely have any experience less than a year? Seeing how you don't have it figured out yet.
    1 fuel savings is huge on 50 thousand trucks
    2. I don't want to see a Noob driving 65+ either.
    3 it's for your own good.

    Turn your caps off

    If you can't pass a Prime truck then you've got more issues than a dude that leases onto CR England.

    13 years experience, and he is with swift.... makes one think what is missing from this complaint about slow trucks.

    It's great when I try to pass one of those company drivers, and like a dick, they max out their speed, and I just hit 70 and flip em the bird.

    For the record: I do not travel at 70 mph. That is my passing an ####### speed.
