    I am going Feb 9th to Memphis.

    I got passed when running 62 in my van today by a Swift truck. I am thinking he was O/O.

    theres a advantage to having a speed limiter on your truck, most of the time when on highways, your within the speed limit and dont have to worry about speeding tickets unless you on a town road.. the disadvantage is that if your running late theres no way to make up any time by going those extra few miles an hour...

    Got AT&T? We should talk. I have free minutes after 7PM central and weekends. Also have lots of rollover minutes saved up.

    No AT&T, sorry. All I have right now is a Trac-fone. I'll PM you my number.

    Not all the trucks have a governor on them. While driving a training truck I was over 65 mph. Thankfully I was on a 70 mph interstate and I immediately dropped my speed for fear of repercussion, and to make up for my unintentional heavy foot, lol..
