    Yesterday I had a newish Shaffer driver merge on behind me from the Lincoln terminal, he said his truck ran 64 since he got it and couldn't wait for the extra mph.
    He passed me pretty easy, but his CB sucked

    I think most companies have a similar setup, where the cruise is slightly faster than pedal. I'm sure the theory is to encourage the use of cruise, which is more fuel efficient. Anyone that would use the cruise unsafely, would probably be doing it at 62 or 65. The unsafe will always weed themselves out.
