do most truckers peek at other truckers cabs when passing them?

i can get 70 out of the pedal and 68 on cruise control...i dont know how anyone can stand to be governed that slow

 

sometimes i give a wave, it depends on what im doing at the time (could be distracted by various things like cb or phone or processing where im driving to /route). traffic and road conditions also are a factor. but generally if someone gives a wave and i notice then YES i will return them a wave.

 

And I don't know how anyone can stand to be governed

 

I believe, about 20 years ago, some guy had a recording, (I got my little red night gown on, my little red panties on, and Im ready to go to beeeeed.) Then some CB shop put it on a chip in truckers CB radio`s. But the recording was in a mans voice. Just dang wrong.

 

I agree I would go nuts going that slow all day lol

The truck I drive is wide open. Boss man was going to have it cut back to 74, but didn't get to it in time, and he seems to have quit worrying about it. I'm turning 1500 RPMs at 68, so that's what I normally keep it at. If I'm in a big hurry to get somewhere, I might do 70 - 72 over a short distance.

 

my trucks wide open too, love to be able to run a little bit ahead of the 66mph and under curve of governed trucks, not that theyre unsafe just that I like to get down the road and make money.

 

I only look over and wave when it's a fellow company truck passing me. Some of us are set at 62, some 65. I'm sure the LPs and O/Os are set higher.

..or if we're stuck in bumper to bumper traffic I'll look over at the truck next to me and do the "wth?!" shoulder shrug.

 

I wave to alot of people, just a little ####ing of my hand not like an abnoxious wave. were all out here dealing with bullcrap in one way or another.

 

I run Rt 95 in New England all week long,my arm would fall off if I waved to everyone. If you wave to me,and I see it, I will wave back.
