    Several years back another hand & I were going up I-5 in the early morning just north of Bakersfield making our way to the place we were to unload. A 4 wheel driver came on the CB Radio saying, “I thought all truck were governed to keep the speed down.” I stated, “is not the governor the one who is head of a state? I don’t believe governor has any thing to with an 18 wheeler.” The truck I was driving would pull 2500 RPM on level ground & I believe the one the other hand was driving would pull 2450 on level ground.


    Today’s trucks, engines, & transmissions are 100% sissy's compared to the trucks of yesterdays years. If you drove yesterdays trucks as you do todays trucks you would be lugging the engine & you would be setting on the shoulder of the road with major engine problems wondering what you did wrong.


    They got them now so anyone can jump into the drivers seat & drive off, real truck drivers are a thing of the past, as or real trucks.

    Yep, and guys like you are the reason that the industry has so many regulations now. Then you have the nerve to ##### about the changes in the laws, and pine for the "old days."

    Thanks a lot.

    What he was doing had nothing to do with trucking.

    All vehicles on the road, and all drivers on the road, and all those drivers' actions have everything to do with trucking.

    But what one does in a personal vehicle does not lead to more regulations. I agree that excessive speed is stupid and dangerous, but in a personal vehicle it does not change regulations.
