    It’s running a lot cooler than mine would be at that rpm.

    Picked up a load today, another guy was also there and we were headed to the same truck stop about 160 miles away. He left 10 minutes before I did, I ran 70MPH while he ran 65 MPH. I passed him on I-95, got to the truck stop before he did. Ended up getting the last parking spot at the Loves, that 5MPH really made that difference, I only had 15 minutes left on my 14 when I pulled in.

    The other guy should plan his trip better. Sorry thats just the stock ignorant response you'll find here to that situation, why I don't generally waste time in this sort of discussion.

    I wouldn't want the fan kicking on at that speed. Or the a/c compressor.
