Me personally I slow down 5-7 mph. More if circumstances call for it but thats my average. I ask because it seems like the majority of truckers don't slow down at all. I've seen trucks doing 68 in the rain, weaving in and out of traffic.
Last night was crazy, I'm on i40 west in Arkansas Oklahoma border area, and the left lane is closed. As I'm driving thru construction I look in my mirror and see another trucker driving on the shoulder trying to pass me and a 4 wheeler. Idk what changed these pass few years but I'm starting to see more and more of this kinda stuff.
How fast do you drive in the rain?

With the e-logs, drivers have to make time when they can, me personally I'm never in a hurry, I just like to drive fast, makes me feel like a race car driver.

Depends on many factors. As always visibility and space are the biggest factors.
Fresh asphalt as daylight disappears with spray and headlight glare creates one of my least favorite driving conditions.lovesthedrive and D.Tibbitt Thank this. -

Lots of factors, under the right conditions things can get pretty slippery. Light load or bobtail...
6wheeler Thanks this.
