    Typically set cruise for the speed limit. Only go faster if im going around a bunch of slower trucks. Try not to exceed 75 though.

    Ashes to Ashes
    Dust to Dust
    If it wasnt for those cow trucks
    That left lane would rust
    However if I may ask for one more moment of your time
    To ask those cow trucks to kindly slide right
    So that us Chicken Trucks may proceed with our West Coast flight
    Thank you and to ALL a good night....

    As my daddy taught me, a big truck goes as fast as it can, a large car goes as fast as it wants to!:biggrin_25514:

    I had a car hauler run away from me last year out on 20 west of DFW about 3 in the morning, I was running 80 or so and he still blew my doors off, I caught him a few miles down the road, then he poured the coals to it and pulled away, it wasn't fair though cuz I was loaded and he wasn't... It still made me mad.. Haha..
