    You've ONLY driven trucks that are faster than EVERY merging truck? I obviously don't follow everything dispatch tells me anymore than I never adjust the actual delivery time when it's necessary. But I'm not volunteering to get carppy loads by routinely driving 1-3 mph slower just so some other driver in a hurry to take his 30 minute break at fuel pumps isn't delayed getting there for 30-60 seconds.

    I've never driven any truck but my own, and at 550 it's about 200 horse short.

    Somewhere in an underground lair in the Nevada Desert @BUMBACLADWAR is sitting back in his Dr. Evil chair counting his one hundred million dollars he won in a bet that he had that his little thread would become big and get everyone worked up into a frenzy.

    its not how fast your truck is, it’s the direct deposit in the bank on Friday that matters. You can do 75, but when you’re making peanuts, you lose.

    Drivers like these Rock haulers, fully loaded, mash the pedal, but the idiots can’t stop, every freakin tire smokes, and some have to fly up on the shoulder, because they will hit a 4 wheeler. Because they can’t STOP. Idiots don’t belong on the road .

    theres a flip side to that coin. Fast twuck passes you, moves over in front of you , drops down under 65 mph, what’s with that? A lot of twuck drivers these days are all about speed. Wrong, why do we drive? To make money. They can keep their fast twuck, fast!!! Right , under paid. Ha ha ha
