The same reason the cheap SOB’s order trucks with no visors, sleeper doors, kick vents, vent windows and soon to be no instruments/gauges!!
Any tanker companies that don't neuter their trucks?

Are you talking HP or governed speed? Because over in Joliet both QC and Linden are governed at 72. Hell some of the QC trucks aren’t even governed on the pedal! Neither hires new drivers. They blow past everyone all day.

There is a subconscious factor involved ...... the human brain is wired to directly correlate bigger sound as being a bigger threat.
You go toot-toot at a car about to pit himself on your bumper, that drivers' brain will look for a smaller profile threat, not a big rig, in turn the car driver reaction will be hesitated, as the brain has to recalculate the scenario.RockinChair, kemosabi49, ProfessionalNoticer and 1 other person Thank this. -
