    My truck is governed at 72 on the cruise, 68 on the pedal. Just makes sense to run 68-69 so if I need a little umph to get around someone it's there. Not my place to dictate someone else's speed. That's what bears are for. Get over your pride...let the faster vehicle overtake you...it's just common courtesy.

    Or, if your truck is governed run 1 or 2 mph slower than the governor. Then when you do catch a slightly slower truck you have some extra to get passed them.

    If you are unable to complete a pass in a timely manner, you are impeding traffic, which is illegal and dangerous.

    One or two mph isn’t gonna pass anyone in a timely manner. Either suck it up and stay in the right lane or expect to be impeding traffic unless the other driver backs off for a minute.

    that suck it up goes both ways. Chill T-f out. Eventually something will open up. Comes with the territory and they know they’re going to have to deal with it every day. And Nothing is going to change it.

    It does go both ways. We are all professionals and we need to act accordingly.

    What's really frustrating is when truck B, who is heavier, but 2 mph faster, is trying to pass truck A , who is slower but lighter. B slowly creeps along until he gets hit but a crosswind or the hint of an incline, then Truck A starts to creep back into the lead, then watch the cycle repeat for a couple of miles.
