It’s funny that most people seem to think that I believe trucks shouldn’t be able to go 70+. And I must be “scared”. I’m mostly just making points based on facts. I don’t like those Prime trucks anymore than anyone on here. My truck is governed at 71, but I stick to 65 on the interstate mostly because Only about 75 miles of my route is interstate, so going 71 doesn’t save me much time. Plus, the truck speed limit is 60 by me, 70 for cars.
I don’t have a problem with trucks doing 75. Last year on vacation in Montana, I was driving 80, and got passed by several semis doing 85, with one at least doing 95.
I do have a problem with trucks doing 90+, and I have a problem with cars doing 100+. At that point, you are endangering other drivers, period.bryan21384 Thanks this. -

My trucks ran 80mph the last 3 years and now I'm in a 65mph truck currently and it's painful and stupid. It's more dangerous in the slow truck and makes me pretty much hate everyone else on the road. Whoever made this idea up of slowing trucks down should be forced to go out there and drive them. I guarantee their dumb ####ing ### would be miserable and feel like a idiot.
ajax1337, TokyoJoe, Army91W and 1 other person Thank this. -
Now that my trucks slow I think it's kinda funny when some rook thinks he's special bc his truck goes 68. New flash buddy that's slow as #### also. I used to be hammer lane all day long blowing doors off everyone. I tell you what's painful is now getting passed my FedEx and ups. They think they are special or something. ##### please I've done anything and everything there is to do. I feel like I'm being belittled bc I got the slow truck and I tell u what I won't be much longer bc I won't tolerate this.

I dont recommend it.
I still have a little bit of a shaky after a incident involving Sterling VA. It worked out well that time.
I dream that some day dispatch will not be such in a hurry. Three square meals a day about 7 hours driving every 24 etc. //just a dream... -
