    They can set it for either. Depends on the experience of the driver.

    If you are not set a 62 and are supposed to be, don't get your truck serviced in Cartersville. They will turn it down. Jimmy is a stickler.

    I understand why Millis sets them low, but it all comes down to common sense. 66 isn't really gonna get you a ticket any more than 62. It would be nice for pulling hills for sure, but with the newer trucks you pretty much have to get good at downshifting or you're going to get frustrated fast lol. also, just because the top speed is governed doesn't mean that you still can't drive like an idiot or speed in lower limit conditions.

    Trenton last I knew still didn't have the computer to adjust the gov. on the truck unless it finally got replaced. It also depends on who you get for you newbie dispatcher, one will make sure the truck gets turned down, the other will just remind you to get it turned down before you leave. Shop can also play a roll in that. 67 is nice on the Ohio turnpike and states that are 70 for trucks, for passing swift,cr,prime,etc. and for pulling hills.
