    It was probably a fake Prime truck that the drug cartels made.

    Couple months ago I was in Wyoming cruising at 70 mph and a black prime truck pulling a tanker blew my doors off. I couldn't believe it

    To the best of my knowledge, if you lease from Success Leasing it will be 65 max.
    I think the guys who have paid off their truck they can tweak it to what they like.

    I've been passed a couple times by Prime when I was rolling at 65 and once at 70, thought I was in the Twilight Zone

    LOL, keep in mind, there are 3-4 different companies pulling Prime trailers, I seriously doubt that they are governed but not sure. Also Prime logistics trucks (independent owners/Operators) are not governed. Also prime company trucks and Lease trucks are governed as stated, some may be just a tad off but not by much.
    Messing with the computer chip is grounds for firing, and they all get checked each time you pull into a Prime yard, plus the Q/C reports speed to your FM.
    So all this said, you were more than likely being passed by either a PHANTOM or one of the trucks/contractors that I have stated above.
     
    scottied67 and Brehon Thank this.

    I remember years ago when Prime used to blow you off the road pulling those Great Dane reefers with 2 sets of mudflaps
