    I'm not greedy ;)

    Besides, I always go 60mph. I decided to go flying down the road at 65mph....at least until I got to IL and then I went back to 60mph because I was tired of all Swift trucks driving alongside me for 10 miles at a time. LOL

    dont you just love it when they do that

    i like it even more when they are heavy and im light so every little grade slows them down a little 10 miles can become 12 or more

    All thanks to speed limiters...

    I'm doing 60 most of the time. Ontario and Quebec got all trucks limited at 65, I don't wanna be a Swift driver...:biggrin_25511:

    It's just a day-cab with a bed on the roof...

    In Europe the maximum length of a truck/trailer is measured from bumper to bumper. Shorter cab means longer trailer. One of the reasons you don't see any longnose trucks over there...

    BTW Rules are changed a little, this configuration isn't used anymore. It was not very driver-friendly...

    See now if I had known what you were hauling I would have looked for you today, problem was the 45 miles of construction zone split into 6 sections kept me busy. 11'4" going into a 12 foot wide cone zone was rather interesting a few times.
