    Schneider trucks are governed at 65 mph and you only do slip seating if you are in one of those programs like the Grand Slam program or 7 & 7. In other words, it's a no brainer, Schneider wins this contest hands down, plus Schneider also pays better and is a much bigger and better company than Stevens. Not to mention that Schneider has nice operating centers located all over the country, while Stevens hasn't any.

    SNI TEAM trucks are governed at 65 everyone else company solo is 60ish.


    on cruise that is. I drive a 2010 dedicated white century class for sni, I cant get past 64 unless I'm loaded going down hill. FACT.

    As far as I know, teams can go up to 70 on the pedal but solo drivers can no faster on pedal than 64-65.

    Oh yeah the expectation FROM sni is a driver is going to use cruise as much as possible and anything on the pedal over 60 is considered overspeed which will disqualify a driver from quarterly bonus if above 5% overspeed.

    My truck is governed at 65 and I'm always passing SNI trucks so they have to be running somewhat less than 65.

    The trucks can go 64. It's not a true 65 as everyone says.
