Check and see what the sidewall of your tires say. When most manufacturers started listing 75 as the max on the sidewall Texas was on a kick of writing tickets to trucks driving faster than that. It was an equipment violation and not a speeding ticket.
My next thought is why even stick around and be a thorn in their side? It won’t be much longer and your miles will start dropping or you’ll be sitting a day or two between loads just because they can. I would’ve been out the door when they told me my schedule was going to change.
My final thought is that if it were your own truck and you paid attention to the gauges you’d see how much extra wear and tear there is on a truck even going from 70 to 75. You’d see how much hotter your transmission and rear ends run at higher speeds and if you took a temp gun to your tires and wheel ends you probably wouldn’t be so quick to drive the speed limit in Texas just because you can.

And when did I play victim? I was shot 6 times in an armed robbery. I AM THE VICTIM OF ATTEMPTED MURDER. I have legal documents referring to me as such. You got a problem with that, greenie?
