Prime also has OO's, they may look like a company truck but they are not. I passed one the other day, he was going about 65 when I started passing, I had to push it up to 80 to get by him.

Since starting this thread I've passed a few doing their normal 62mph as well. Maybe it was one of those Prime outlaw trucks that passed me.Trucker61016 and Dave_in_AZ Thank this. -
If the OP got passed by a Raider Express truck, then he should be worried

At least I haven't been passed by them yet, so that's one less badge of shame for me.WesternPlains and bigkev1115 Thank this. -
Nope i had one pass my pete yesterday too. I was cruseing at 73 at the time too and he blew the doors off GPS and ELD confirmed 73 too. Startled me pretty badly TBH because i thought i had somehow let my self drift down to 50 or below.

US Express trucks have been getting close to 70mph recently too.

To me clear, it didn't bother me having Prime pass me. I don't care whether you're running 55 or 85, although I do get a little testy being stuck behind Raider Express on US 287 in Colorado.
Trucker61016, snapplepress, SoulScream84 and 2 others Thank this. -
