Two things; I remember on 80, eb on the hill between mm 111 and 121 in PA, it was snowing, and everybody had slowed down, here he came with his doubles and everything, going 75. Everybody got on the cb, (we used them in 2008 still) telling him to slow down. He of course told us to mind our own business, with a few four letter words through in for good measure. I told him it was our business because last week one wrecked, same spot, leaving his back trailer blocking eb lanes, and went across 100 foot median and blocked wb lanes.
2) When that FedEx driver caused the fatal accident north of Sacramento, KR trotted out FedEx's CSA score, and claimed they were pretty safe. I thought our argument against CSA is the scores aren't good predictors of crash. KR, you proved that! -
It's not hard to pass a FedEx truck, Just wait for to to wreck a few miles ahead of you. Prime maybe slow but I give them credit, I see alot less of them in the ditch then FedEx.

I'm governed at 65, so I've not been passed by Prime, Werner, Swift, etc. I know 65 is slow, but there's always plenty of cars I have to pass when the speed limit is 70 or more. They go less than 65 in Texas.
I've passed a few FedEx trucks when they're climbing the hills and I'm empty, lol. -
Prime trucks I stroll on by without fail, but yeah, the FedEx guys... I run dedicated between Denver and Topeka, so we're just rolling into the hot season of FedEx trucks wrecked on black ice between the Kansas border and Denver. There's a fair share of Old Dominion trucks always skunking it in that stretch, too, come to think of it. Let the games begin!

When 10 and 20 get icy in Texas, 90% of the trucks in the ditches are from the San Joaquin valley.

Drove a 2000 star car could and did put Petes and kws to shame.
