companies with fast trucks

The company im driving for pete 550 cummins no governor oh yea clean license too doing it old school#this too shall pass

 

Shoot, sign me up. I'd rather drive a slower nice tryck, than a faster s*** truck. Like my current company. I'm in the one of the oldest trucks we have. Yea she runs but every week something happens and the mechanics says, " we're not going to fix that, we'll get rid of that truck next year" which is true....but I gotta drive this piece of s*** til next year. Going slow, going fast. As long as I get my check I'll go whatever speed my company wants me too.

 

TE SLAA trucking out of Hull IA, I was putting along the other night doing 70Mph and one of there trucks blew my doors off. Nice petes and reefer's small company that's all I know

 

I am driving one of those slow trucks for now, and I only get out of the right lane to pass the really slow, and for something on the shoulder. Outside of that, I let the big engines fly by.

 

First Fleet Volvo blew by me today at 68 mph.

 

My company... Trucks are between 68/80

 

Did anyone mention Tyson Chicken? 71 mph. R&L Carriers is 70 + also l believe.

 

Central Reefer?

 

I have had a trucks before set at 62,64,65 mph, and now I can run as fast I want. Honestly I'll rather run 70 plus instead being at those slow speeds. Im pulling 20 ft and 40 ft containers loaded at between 10, 000 and 60, 000 lbs in the box grossing up to 100,000 lbs. I usually run about 73 steady and if I come up on another truck that is running around 70 I'll usually hit the pedal and jump up to around 75 to 76. To get around them and get out of it and drop back to around 73 and I'm getting 6 to 6.5 mpg how much fuel I burn determine how much I make that week. So I wouldn't be still running 70 plus and broke. My opinion is it depends on the truck when it comes to the mpg

 

If I ever got my truck into the top gear, it would be doing 100 mph at 1600 RPM. I have no clue how fast it will go. I drive it around 62-65 most of the time. I like keeping most of the money I make and not throwing it up the stacks or buying tires all the time.

All of this doesn't matter anyway. DOT has sent the mandatory speed limiter thing to the white house for Obummer approval.
