What's the word for a group of trucks following eachother

Loaded 64mph trucks trying to catch and pass an empty 65mph truck.

 

drafting... for fuel economy of course.

 

how many trucks in a row makes up a convoy?

 

Oh, you mean when one company truck needs to pass another company truck?

 

72 !!?? MOST OF YOU WISH IT WAS !!LOL most of the ones I pass are down around 65 or so.I'm the orange stripe Volvo, with no governor.

 

Lucky #######, here in Ontar-i-o were all stuck at 65. Sad when the gubmint forces an o/o to waste his hard earned money on a governor. If the "convoy" (5-6 trucks running together) is going 103, and my truck does 104, I'm passing the lot. Don't care how long it takes. Them four wheelers kept blaming us for accidents, they pissed and moaned to have us governed... well, they'll wait while pass

 

I think many on here have been a part of the "groups" running out of Cali... seems when there is one truck they are doing 55 but when there are 8 or so, they are doing 65 - 70...

I guess that would pass for a modern day convoy.

 

according to the AAA,( american auto assoc), when looking at the data, 75% of those wrecking between an auto and big truck are caused by the 4 wheeler. FACT !!
but, let's not confuse people with the facts.

 

Been a few nights running across 80 and 90 where all were running between 75 and 80 with 5 to 10 trucks. If you have a MPG tracker on the truck, watch the millage when running back to back with other trucks. It will go up by 1 to 2 MPG verses running that speed solo.... I Can't say that I would do that...... But.....

 

This, like the convoy of nascar trucks that blew my doors off in the deep south one time. All 15 or so of them were doing 80 plus while no more than 50 feet off each others bumpers.
