I'm on 294 all the time. The semi drivers you are describing are in the minority of speeders and reckless drivers out there. At least from what I've seen.

Nothing like squeezing past a 65er who’s crowding your lane just to have him roar past you in a construction zone 3 minutes later. But like others have said, your sanity will greatly improve when you stop obsessing over the stupid things you’ll see stupid people do all day everyday.
Lonesome and kemosabi49 Thank this. -
Sanity?
I have to leave mine at home for safe keeping! Bringing it along or trying to rationalize what they are doing even in the slightest bit would ensure you loose it! -
I grossed $99,000 in 22, 100% on time, home every weekend all at 65mph.

What's the difference between passing the same truck twice or two different trucks once?
-
UPS trucks where I run usually keep to 55mph. They’re not governed that low I’ve seen them ramp it up to 72 to complete a pass and then go down to 55. Maybe because they work by the hour instead of mileage but I know they make good checks and good benefits but they insist running 55. So yeah your speed doesn’t determine your pay.LtlAnonymous Thanks this.

Some are paid by hour and some are paid by mileage. Depends on the run.LtlAnonymous Thanks this.
