75 mph???

quit deriving pleasure from cheap thrills.HA! and no, fast trucks are not for everyone and 72 mph is not a fast truck.if you honestly think 72 is fast,mine would make you pee yourself.don't envy anyone as you apparently CHOOSE to drive a slow truck and seem to be content doing so.kudos driver.

now get back on that throttle and pass all those truly slow trucks and enjoy,waving as you pass them.

 

Not to mention the fact that is the max speed most steer tires can handle these days.

 

well thats good to know,i guess doing 80-100 on bias tires was a bad idea

 

OUTLAW! Just kidding, I know my uncles old truck would do that easy and ran bias ply tires.

 

I'd drive off a bridge from boredom if I had to run 60-65 all day...

 

Boss castrated my truck, I just slam my hand in the door every time I start driving. Gives me something to look forward to at the end of the day, that and easy listening music.

 

Back in the day when the made everything to last and hold up,not for fuel economy.I miss those days.

 

Running 85 feels good but it's not my style... The load dont pay as much as a 15mph ticket so i keep it below 77 unless im passing these people going super slow..

 

OMG in 1979 my big green Pete hit 117 on the NJ turnpike but i was 26 then
now 68 is plenty fast for me and in traffic i go slower
Gary to Joliet is 55 mph terriortory for me
somedays i wish i could keep up to the bullhaulers

oh and that #### pete had a 1271 detriot with 90 series injectors and was always in the shop
6 inch staight pipes no mufflers blk smoke and sparks everywhere
every drunk hillbilly wanted to race her i should still be in jail

 

When I drove for Pepsi, I got a rental Freightliner FL70 tractor that did 77 mph flat out. It was fun. Not so fun when I saw the DOT heading north on US180 as I was heading south for home flat out in a 65 mph zone. He turned on his lights and made a "slow down" gesture. Luckily he knew I wasn't driving my usual 64 mph dog pile and cut me some slack.

Plus giving him and his partner a free drink at a portable scale set up helped as well.

My truck isn't governed but I don't run over 68 most of the time.
