    Not completely abolished.

    8 states still have split speeds.

    I read in one of the “trucker mags” that May Trucking is one of the bigger players in lobbying to get all trucks at 65 MPH.

    I wouldn't have a problem with that. 70 mph or higher for a truck is way too fast for a vehicle that big. Besides, unless you're running territories west of 35, its going to be nearly impossible to keep that speed.

    Probably because he thinks that it will help him make more money. Those are the type of people a company should never hire.

    Company drivers, owner ops, truckers period....70 mph times 80,000 equals the potential for major danger.
