Mine will run 85+ I'm not expected to do it or do it all the time. Its there for necessity. They're not many trucks other than the super 1s that I can't pass or run with but why do it I'm not working to pay tickets 5-10 over cruise set and I roll.
I've put my time in, who pays the most and who runs with faster trucks

I'm a company driver with 60mph truck. Getting 8+ mpg over the last 5000 miles (and that is near 80k in the mtn. West, too); and yeah, it's annoying sometimes when trying to pass that other slow company truck, or get a good run at a hill. But, when I buy my own truck, I'll not go much faster, though I'll be able to pass and run hills... The cost of fuel is no joke. At least I have hill-climbing power. I'll pass all sorts of trucks while near gross, glad my slow truck can climb...
