    55,62,67, or so. The fleet seems to be mixed on what they are governed at company or lease side. I think the company guys go as fast as 7.5mpg allows them to.

    At 67 a prime driver would get a noise bleed. They run about 57 to 62 on a good day with a good tail wind and a 2000 pound load.

    You may have blown by me. When I was at Prime, I drove 53 as often as I could. I hear it was governed at 65, but I wouldn't know.

    It's all about fuel mileage, and I got my best at 53.

    That's because you were talking to a looser who had no business leasing a truck.

    So you think, they charge you twenty thousand more than you can buy it off a dealers lot and then soak you on a maintaince contract from day one. On a new under warrenty truck. So he said, how
    ever, some people get off getting abused. Have fun.

    If I remember right from what I read they are governed at 62MPH for company trucks, and 63mph for lease trucks.

    Just Checked again, lease trucks are 65mph

    There is no "maintaince contract" at Prime. Some people get off talking smack about something they know nothing about. Have fun.

    Wow. I couldn't imagine going from 53 to 60 coast to coast.
