I am governed at 65 MPH Cruise, 68 MPH Pedal and honestly I’m perfectly happy with that. Never use cruise though, lol.
I wouldn’t want to go any faster then 70 MPH though. Just how I feel. Used to work for Prime who would push and say how great it would be if drivers would drive 55 MPH. One driver said he drives 50 MPH in most areas.
In my opinion slower trucks/traffic is more of a concern than faster vehicles as long as your vehicle is in good shape and you’re paying attention. -
That’s nothing, I have a yard tell me I need to wear a safety vest in my truck and it has to be zipped up, I asked them with a serious voice if I need to be wearing the vest while I’m resting in the bunk or while on the toilet. They didn’t seem to want to answer that question.
As far as 70mph well if it ain’t my truck and my money going in the tank why should I care.BlueThunderr, Digger130 and Upinsmoke Thank this. -
Shipex has 70 mph trucks.
Fuel quality can also affect your mileage.
Gotta have passing power when you need it..I hate getting stuck in a pack of trucks.. -
I have my own authority and run whatever I want. With an ISX 600 / 2050 backed with an 18 speed just push the throttle in the big hole.

With Jrayl, the speed governor setting seems to vary from truck to truck.
The local trainer's truck was set at 68 MPH, the OTR trainer's truck was set at 65 MPH. My solo truck is set at 70 mph. -
