    Hey I guarentee you I'm not one of the 65 trucks that doesn't slow down on 294. I'm never in that big of a hurry and besides my LYTX camera goes off all the time there through those funky lane shifts.

    Heck I started using 355 when I can. It's worth the extra ten minutes not to deal with 294.

    The thing I really hate is slowing down in a construction zone,only to have the slow trucks race by me.
    Then you have to pass them again in the 70mph

    Trucks do 68-71 depending on which hub, and yeah we do okay. Speed isn't in my top 20 concerns unless there's an idiot I want to be safely in front of.

    I'm that guy. Often when I come home, big traffic is over. If you're going slow, with a lot of real estate in front of you, I'm passing. Get out of my way, Jay Im in a hurry to get home.

    Maybe they think they are leading a convoy and everyone wants to follow them?
