I usually do 4mph over the limit up to my trucks governed speed of 71. On the interstate I mean. In town I'm usually spending my life trying to get UP TO the speed limit since my truck seems to be equipped with a red light sensor that triggers every green light to turn yellow at the last second so I have to slam on the brakes to not run the light. So I don't worry much in towns. I know there are areas in my state where the city kittys sit and hit you just on the other side of the 45mph sign coming out of a 65mph zone for 50 miles.
I don't really care about other truckers speeding other than in work zones. ACTIVE work zones. I've seen this a lot more lately than when I first started driving. I don't know WTF drivers are thinking.
The other thing that pisses me off is when these #### truck drivers will speed to get around me and then take the next exit literally 500ft in front of me. Was passing me REALLY necessary? I was doing 71 in a 70 and you pass me and slam on the brakes to make the next exit. Morons.TokyoJoe, sirhwy, TheLoadOut and 7 others Thank this. -

I ain't gon lie, when im jersey i roll 72-75 along with all the other big guys. 72 they won't bat an eye. Same with pa roll 72-73 all day long w/o trouble. Ny on the other hand 70 is about all I'll do. Mass is the same as dirty jersey
Badmon and Canadianhauler21 Thank this. -
I havent heard anyone mention bull wagons. Those guys are movin! I envy those guys sometimes. I have always wondered why they are always running 85 & seem to never get caught or think anything about it.
God prefers Diesels, Canadianhauler21 and D.Tibbitt Thank this. -
5 over in the great beyond; 5 under wherever idiots gather (excluding limited access, that’s like a little slice of the beyond).
