My truck is governed at 70. 5 mph gets me a speed warning on the qualcomm. More than 2 speed warnings in a certain time frame earns me a sit down with safety. Generaly about with in 3mph of the speed limit is OK. Except in Indiana.
What is the Max speed limit you can go over on an interstate?

I'm curious how many of you who admit to speeding will get tickets after jinxing yourselves in this thread. Haha

go 10 over in Michigan and they will probably give u the e-chair, drove on I-94 today and seen 4 trucks pulled over, they gave a ticket to one of my companies drivers for going 3 over (200.00)

Driving blindly, carelessly unsafe, like you're the only vehicle on the road,
Zero tolerance days and zones will attract a ticket -
I can't stand having a governed truck. I have been governed at 64 mph since 2004. I think they are dangerous! I think if they are going to be governed it should be at least 78 mph if you are OTR. No reason you shouldn't be able to do the speed limit across I-80, TX, AZ and NM. I also don't like it because of a steer tire blow out. If you are already maxed out on speed and your steer tire blows you can't accelerate to bring the truck back under control before stopping. So really if you want to be super anal safe you have to drive slower than your governed speed.

I'm not saying I don't ever speed. I'm just saying there is no real benefit to speeding like a mad man in an 80000 pound killing machine. I get not governing the rigs at 64 but unfortunately there are too many people that can't control themselves if they have the chance to speed. So the ruined it for the professionals.
