    … am I missing something?

    1. Trucks that travel at slower speeds get better mpg.
    2. Trucks that get better mpg are more profitable.

    I was referring to bad attitudes post which stated he thought Prime was a good company when they use to fly pass everyone. Now that they are being passed he inferr d it is now a bad company. I was requesting clarification of a company is only good if the trucks are fast.

    yes slow trucks are bad ! slow trucks are a hazard on the highways. slow trucks and ignorant slow truck drivers are the reason for road rage. you guys ride side by side trying to pass holding up hard working drivers like myself.

    It seems so easy for you to blame others. People who become "enraged" on the road need to look no farther than the mirror to find the source of their problems. I hope you have a good day, stay safe.
