    I find myself passing Prime all the time and having my doors blown off by Fedrex ground (doubles) all the time.

    From you guys experience.. wondering if Prime is always that slow vs Fedrex always being that fast.
    Seriously think about it and answer.

    Im usually loaded to the max,so obviously,being passed,by an empty prime truck,wouldnt be difficult.
    Most fedex I see are doubles and triples..they pass me too.

    Assuming he means FedEx Ground.
    The FedEx Freight guys are slow - governed to 68 I think

    Seems fedex has slowed down a hair over the last year or so, but they are way faster then prime.
