    My trainers truck was set to top out at 68. Lease driver trucks are set to 68 and company are set to 62. I know because when driving I floored it on level ground and it stopped at 68.

    Well I'm a lease driver, and it's part of the contract. Top end is 65 for all trucks - unless the title is in your name. Chances are the speedo is wrong,sorry to burst your bubble, and if there was a mistake made it won't last past the next time it's in a company shop. Advice... don't get dispatched to Canada. The fine for having a speed limiter set above 103 kph in Ontario is rather stiff.

    If I'm fueling in Tehachapi on my way to Bakersfield, I've screwed up my fuel plan somewhere along the way. lol
