    They even admitted that the roads are safer if the Trucks and the cars would go the same speed. I wish Michigan would figure this out!

    I like the reference to the tortoise and the hare, of course it doesn't apply to drivers who keep their ###### doors shut.

    We're lucky Moonbeam (That's the governor for those of you who don't know) doesn't drop trucks to 45 mph because "It's safer....They'll burn less fuel (Caveat...Cali runs off of tax $$$$$$....If Moonbeam had a brain....He'd raise the speed limit to 90......) and they'll pollute less....(Mary Nichols told him to say that....) :biggrin_25523:

    So you can get the %#^& out of Texas.

    I run between 62-67 with my truck, it gets the best milage, doesn't blow out trailer tires and still gets me there.

    I get paid by percent of the load the faster I get from point A to point B the more I make if you brake it out on a per hr
