    Yeah Oil and Gas has plenty! What your looking for is when you call ask what's the Truck's governed too 70% will say 70 - 78 mph 20% will say and I quote "If I have to Govern a Truck, I don't need you as a driver" That outfit had the Peterbuilt 389 Fleet all Glider Kits! That's all they drive! Long Noses

    With the exception of The Big Service Companies which are like 10% of the market, like Haliburton and those outfits. There all 65!

    I run a Tanker that is ungoverned. Doesn’t matter though, the truck will only do what I ask of it and being in So Cal I don’t see 65 very often.

    I grain co-op I used to drive for had their new Volvos governed at 80 MPH while the old Sterlings and Internationals could run wide open.

    I see where you have a problem is its called So Cal. Im not hating on you but living in California these days doesn't sound appealing. Dodging homeless camps,Needles,and human feces,high taxes, over regulations i could go on but everyone has there own likes and dislikes.

    Keep the left door shut and ride in an ungoverned truck you will get there quicker..
    We don’t all drive for mega fleets in governed trucks on elogs...

    Why some folks can't seem to understand this concept is beyond me.

    I run 72-73 mph every chance I get and I can easily get 3,700 miles in a week running on e-logs
