    And when coming out of construction they maintain the lower construction speed limit for a few miles or until another truck ALMOST passes them. Then they hammer down.

    The people that want to do the same speed through town as on the open road never cease to amaze me. I hate 95 in MD with a passion because just that sort of driver makes a total cluster out of it.

    That’s why we run foot on floor for 12.5 minutes, then slow down for 7 minutes,so the timer on camera doesn’t activate then it’s foot on floor, and repeat.
     
    Coffey Thanks this.

    Don't worry driver. Jan 1, 2024 the national speed limit for vehicles over 10,000# will be 58mph and restricted to the right lane. As part of the annual inspection, the ECM will be checked to insure you are compliant.

    Nah... No need to complain to any companies (they probably get enough complaints as it is). I just re-pass them and get on with my day.
     
    Coffey Thanks this.
