Any big companies besides Shwift raising their governed speed?

I thought in most states they were. I.E. the speed limit is the same for cars as trucks...

 

I ve seen a few Werner trucks running about 68-70. Also I ve seen some Schneider trucks running between 68-71 as well

 

Correct me if I am wrong. However I am under the impression that operating a CMV in Canada without a governor set at 65 MPH was illegal. I would think this if true might also limit this.

 

sounds pretty scary. ........ ok a newbie really can't help where he starts out so this really isn't for them but you would think after about 4 months out of driving school you start figuring out that anybody with more than a year here seems mentally challenged and maybe I should start looking for a good job

I actually think it's the other way around..I think fast trucks, or should I say guys that drive fast create more traffic problems. Slow trucks will always be in the right lane, so the easy solution is to get around them. I see so many drivers doing 75 or more at times...speed kills. I don't find it safe to drive that fast, especially with a heavy load.

 

Right!!!!! I don't understand why people think faster is better....it's more about how long the driver side door is closed, and when you travel

 

Yes life would be more dangerous. Cars and trucks should go the same speed.

 

I turned my truck down to 70 had it 70 on cruise 90 on pedal so I could pass people at 69 in a reasonable time but fuel mileage was killing me because I ended up going 75 most of the time so just turned it down to 70 on both ... my driver can be a moron at times as well as my dumb driver manager and idiot load planner .......
