    I have 65 mph on cruise/66 on the floor. I usually run it at 62 mph. Lets me pass prime, everyone else scoots around me. It's pleasant for me. I still get guys passing me flashing their lights and yelling at their CB. I got rid of my radio because the only time I touched it was to turn it off.

    So many drivers out there, 4wheeled, mega, oo, lo etc doing stupid things. Listened to a driver berate a JB hunt daycab for talking on his phone while driving, and all I could think was "You're on the radio you dink..."

    Bottom line, anti social people drive trucks. Not all drivers, but a vast portion.

    i dont berate anyone on the radio or flash my lights ...i kick off the cruise and lay back and let em take their time ...an extra couple mins out of my day is not gona make or break me nor is it worth gettin my bp up over .
    the people flashin their lites and runnin their pie hole should keep in mind that the person they are givin a hard time to mite be the one who pulls in behind em at the fuel island and gives em a schoolin ..
