    I'm just curious. I drove for Roehl and Swift trucks passed us all the time. Our trucks are governed to 61 MPH on cruise control and 63 MPH when you press the throttle. This use to be the other way around until Roehl started putting governors on their trucks.

    My company Volvo will do 63 as well, with new tires 64 for a month or so. Supposed to be set at 62 cruise or pedal. Owner op trucks are set at 68 I believe.

    I probably shouldn't admit this, but the truck I have now is set at 65. Which is not a big deal, since if I were to actually run at 65, I'd likely end up fired. I won't have the truck much longer anyway. I passed 500,000 miles a couple days ago.
