    Sweet. At least we'll be faster than ******* crete.

    Stop complaining about the hammer lane you fancypants ungoverned crowd. It's still taken up by 61-62 mph trucks passing us when we're going 60. It'll just be us passing them instead. At least you'll get to go 63 behind a Schneider instead of going 61 behind a Crete.

    Is it also too much trouble when youre doing 70 coming up on a 63 mph truck, to get over before you're almost into my icc bumper. My company rewards me for good fuel mileage. So stop running up on me when im trying to just mind my business.

    Don't know where you are at but all the Crete or Shafer trucks that I see are doing 65 mph.

    I stick my cruise on at 63 when I'm out of traffic on the open highway and I pass Crete trucks all the time.

    I can almost bet I'll get around a Crete all the time (mostly relegated to New England, some South, some Midwest, the occasional MST and PST), and I'm driving Big Blue....
    I get a chuckle when I see drivers glance at me rolling those hills near 75mph... Didn't know Werner went that fast did ya? Lol. Haven't gotten chewn out yet. I'll keep doing it as long as I feel it's safe to do so.

    Talked to the shop manager when my truck went in for repairs last night, and he said they can only turn them up after after Jan 1st when scheduled for a pm. You can't just stop in and ask them to turn it up.

    I thought this was funny too. Either I'm interpreting it wrong or I'm actually right with what they are saying and it really makes no sense in typical Schneider fashion. So, trucks will now be allowed to cruise at 63mph where they were able to go at overspeed before. But it won't increase acceleration past that. So flat land or an incline your max speed either cruise or pedal is 63mph. The only way to go overspeed would be a decline in the road. However, if you apply more than 10% acceleration in the decline and go overspeed you will be charged against your percentage? So this is where I'm confused. Why would you stay on the accelerator in a decline? Doesn't it become easier to obtain that percentage from bonus? And you no longer can coast to 70mph it is 68mph.
