    I will usually cruise around 63 for MPG if there isn't a lot of traffic to block, 65-66 if there is a good steady flow so I'm not one of the vehicles choking up the flow of traffic. I honestly think that all these companies limiting trucks(especially the ones that run 58-62) are the reason there are a lot more traffic incidents. That and these states that have staggered speed limits for trucks/cars...all it does is clog things up, piss off 4 wheelers, and make them drive aggressively which leads to accidents.
     
    Lowlite and Woobie Thank this.

    Even a temporary "push to pass" function that allows a top speed of 68mph for 3-5 minutes would be sufficient. I usually cruise at 60-62. And for chrissakes get some competent friggin' techs at CR!

    I guess Peterbilt doesn't currently have that option now then.

    Just treat drivers like grown ups and let them decide when they need extra pedal...the ones that abuse it will feel it when there trimester is up and pay is down due to lower MPGs

    Well delivered last night at US Cold and now picking up at US Cold in Dallas...looks like a long wait. Headed to College Park (ugh)....

    Would be nice if they brought the speed up. I can live with 65-70.
