    I'm sick of all these companies limiting me to 63 when I'm driving 100's of miles down a flat straight road with ideal conditions.


    Also I don't like the invasion of privacy that comes with cameras.

    Don't drive for a mega company and that usually helps resolve these issues.

    Unfortunately the megas are running rates so low, there wont be any oo's left soon.
    65 mandated speeds will be here soon enough.
    Thank God for freedom!

    Danny Herman Trucking - 67 mph
    Abilene Motor Express - 68 mph
    Try Craigslist for "Press 1 for English" or "Press 2 for Russian" (Carolina Logistics)

    "megas" and "ungoverned trucks" ... the two don't belong in the same sentence. Driver, don't sweat the 62-65 MPH trucks. You can make money, and they'll probably save you a bunch of tickets. A "fast" big-fleet truck is going to be maybe 70. It sounds to me like a truly fast truck is probably the last thing you need at this stage of your career.

    The extra fuel you'll be burning will be reflected in your smaller paycheck, and the extra miles you'll cover each hour will probably be offset with more time spent trashing around in truck stops.

    The 63 governed speed had nothing to do with the roads on beautiful sunny day. It's all about Fuel savings
    And when they called Geico; they said in order to "save a bunch a money" on their vehicle insurance as advertised they had to install cameras and as many things that beep and buzz at you as humanly possible...
