Do any drivers go the speed limit?

I drive the speed limit, hard core 55.

It's doesn't matter how fast you go, there will always be someone who wants to get in front.

And that's a good thing because they will be keeping the state trooper's busy.

 

I heard somewhere that 57% of all inspections happen because a driver gets pulled over for speeding.

 

I can't drive 55. Lol. I do 5 over 90% of the time

 

Yeah I'm a speeder myself. I like to think I'm just keeping with the flow of traffic. I'm really gonna hate being governed.

 

So I get pulled over for speeding the other week, chp goes 'you know how fast your going?' I said 62 he said 'try 65 this here speed limit is 55 but you can do 60 thats the max' I said #### this ticket is going to be expensive. $1200 later....

 

The funny thing is for me is that my truck has the qualcomm overspeed set at 70 and excessive overspeed set at 72. I think the only limit I have is the 2200 rpm. Having one of the few cat engines in a detroit / cummings fleet is that the mechanics don't have the computers to reset the limits. I just hope that I get to keep those limits when the new qual comm is installed. It makes me feel "special".

 

I usually go 56-57 in a 55 zone so, yes, I speed a bit. Just call me JJ.

My truck can go 63, but I usually set the cruise to 61 unless I really need to make those extra few miles during a shift.

It's hard to speed in a governed truck, unless I am going downhill with a tail wind.
And even then, I am less likely to go over the posted speed limit than I am to break Swift's speed rules.

 

I always drive 5 over the limit, when I'm able to. That gets me 50 or more miles further down the road by the end of the day.

Now if I paid for my fuel, or if my company had a fuel mileage bonus worth a ####, I'd reconsider.

 

Since my truck is neutered to 62, I cant cruise at the speed limit unless it's in one of them money-grubbing states that limit truck speed so ridiculously slow but while in those particular states like California and Oregon, I set the cruise at 60 or depending on the situation, I set it at 62.
