The slow drag race (governed) on the interstates, it's worse.

A lot more trucks on the road. A higher percentage of them are governed. Fewer people are willing to back off and allow the pass.

 

I usually fire up the CB and comment about it…. Oh look, we’re having a slow race….

 

This only helps you. These mega governed guys don't have radios for the most part.

I got so mad at two of these jackmeats a few years ago headed up 81 in the middle of the night that I sat on the bumper on the left with my driver's steer on the line and flashed my lights at him for a solid 30 minutes. He wouldn't give in, and neither would I.
I know, I let it get to me. He eventually yielded though.

I thought I was going to burn out my dimmer switch losing my sh** that night

 

The old 1976 352 Patriot of Pop’s had a hot 290 with a 10 spd. It would walk on around C F, Schneider, and J B. I sometimes wonder hp rating some of the newer trucks are running, some really do seem to be castrated….

 

I started going 64 to get the fuel bonus, but now I don't think I'll ever go back to 68 everywhere. My pay did not change in the slightest, and I just let the packs all pass. Nobody usually bothers getting back in the right lane in front of me until they're all gone.
