Any flatbed companies that do not govern to 62MPH?

it wouldn't surprise me to see that. flatbed freight is the worse when it comes to wind dynamics. flatbed freight is the worse fuel mileage one can haul.

 

Reason is most flatbed freight isn't super time sensitive. fuel savings are a lot by going 62 instead of 65. That being said, when i I buy another truck and hire drivers in a few months I dont govern at 62. I find the extra 3 mph does make a difference depending on th week.

Depends ont he load, but flatbed is way more dangerous then doubles when it comes to speed induces roll over. And yes i have hauled both.

check out marvick...i thought they were 65

 

L.B., check out Averitt. Trucks are governed at 65mph. We have service centers all over Georgia, home weekly.

 

Melton van lines. All flatbed and 65mph. I guess it's better than 62..I'd still perpher faster though

 

Cypress and Howard Transportation are flatbed; don't know their top speed.

 

They have been trying to expand the flatbed side. I haven't seen any in Macon but then again I only have ever been there once. Send me a message if you want to know more.

 

Most medium to big companies are setting there trucks at 62 to 65 to mainly save money fuel. I am with Melton and we are set at 65. I know mostly for safety and fuel savings. I am betting that companies would also save money on issurence cost as well. Melton probably cant get you home every weekend. but every other week since you live east of I 35. every 3 weeks if living west of I 35
