    Yeah went to work there,not there now..#### a bunch of northeast.good people work there,but man 65 mph is crazy,bad enough you run northeast ALL the time but with the computer your always running illegal.. they said it was for fuel mileage well then why are the texas trucks and California trucks turned up..I know it is a big difference between northeast and west coast but hey they choose to come work as a team so turn the trucks up to (at least 70)...so now sad to say need a job...

    Sounds like tmc all that chrome and no go I pass them with 2 gears to go terrible what's going on nowadays I remember back in the early nineties if you had a truck set at 72 that was considered a slow truck!

    Poppapump you hit it on the head..the problem with companies smaller like Carolina is they bring in some rocket scientist that knows numbers and first thing to come out his mouth is then the trucks down..knows nothing about a truck and they turn them down..you can't save money by turning a truck down to 63 mph.they were set at 72 then down to 70 then to 63 ..and I talk to safety he said we were getting 6 to 6.3 with going 63 mph I know how to see if your burning fuel and I was getting the same before so its all just some bull crap...
