    Agreed. I don't care who passes me - I was just surprised to see a Prime doing it.

    This is good fiction. Thought you all would appreciate the humor.
    I got passed by Prime!
    I was just minding my own business. Using my engine brake. Easing down a 6% grade. When all of a sudden. I hear screaming! And this Prime truck flies by at about 92mph!

    Prime still runs company trucks 58/62, lease trucks 65/65, owner-ops whatever they ###### well please. Sometimes the shop screws up, I've had a truck that would do 65 before and no one ever bothered me about it.
