Driving a Governed Truck Etiquette 101

well the governed trucks are a little tricky,but if ya can't totally pass on your own,maybe stay in line and stay at a steady pace. that always makes better time i seem to find out. not be a hater of anyone. and its a little safer that way

 

My truck is governed to 67, the fastest I drive is 65. That leaves me with a few MPH to pass if I come up on a truck that is barely going slower than me. when i was in a 62 MPh truck I only did 60 unless I was passing.

Going a few MPh slower than your truck will allow makes passing a lot easier!

 

well, the following distance of 15 feet is just a wreck waiting to happen.i'm from the cincinnati area and as far as the wreck that happened in the fog, i would have hoped that there was a fellow driver on the cb warning of stopped traffic,and or slowing down to a safe speed in the fog. that load your hauling is not worth your life or someone elses. not being a hater just want all to be safe

 

and the 55 mph in ohio,we all know it makes it unsafe for trucks,just the people that make the law hasn't figured that out yet

 

Well Ohio has been in the talks in the government about lifting the 55mph speed limit statewide. From the sounds of it, it will be lifted hoping by summertime cause its really boring driving through ohio at 55-60... well ohios boring anyway ya put it I guess .

 

I took these just this last week. This all started out at about the 141 stick, but I didnt get the camera out untill I was 2 miles into what turned out to be a 6 mile parade. Please enjoy.
