    If I recall correctly, Prime trucks are governed at 57 miles per hour. While it may seem slow, it does lesson one's chances of receiving a speeding ticket.

    Not really, Prime and CRST don't even slow down for school zones. They blast through those small towns that have 35 mph speed limits and never let off the gas.
    That's probably the new drivers with little experience and the cowboy outlaw attitude.

    I always try and stay within 10 mph in a car but follow the posted speed in a truck, as long as it isn't during the posted times or while lights are flashing, the speed zone doesn't apply, right?

    ive seen some trucks that are like that. Some have the coffin sleepers that you have to crawl through what would have Been the back window.
    Of primes lightweight the pro stars have the most room.(not by much though)
