    Yeah yeah rub it in at least we don't have to scrub the bugs off the windshield at the fuel like the rest of the suckers. Since they all just run into the back of the trailer and the ones that don't flip us off on the way by like everyone else lol.

    Thanks! And I've only ever passed other Prime trucks (occasionally)!

    I do my best to drive at a speed in which folks can get around me if need be or at a speed where I won't overtake to many people. That way I don't have to move much and that reduces the chance of something bad wrong happening. I've found that 59mph works great. It also worked well for fuel mileage in the Pete I was trained on.

    I guess I'll have to learn where my truck likes it. I get one in a couple hours.

    I also want to say thanks to you folks for answering all my questions no matter how silly it may seem. I will definitely keep using you folks as a valuable resource!
