    I never though I'd head "speeding" and "container hauler" in the same sentence.

    Drive around some of the ports and you’ll see just how reckless and speed demons. These people can be… They could not pay me enough to run the ports

    Which ports?

    Because every container hauler I've ever seen in Houston or in the LA / IE area has been maddeningly slow, both in terms of acceleration and top speed.

    It’s not just the ports, they’re speed demons at some of the rail yards as well!

    Not by choice.

    I think I passed through there in summer of 2003. If not, then it would've been late 2000 / early 2001.

    Maybe one out of a thousand! In my opinion if your calling the container haulers speed demons. I would hate to be in traffic behind you, they are terriblely slow and unaware but speed demons overall they are not. And yes I am stuck on the highways with them frequently!

    Like I said,wherever I’m at they’re always flying.(70 mph plus)
    Incidentally,I’m governed at 65 mph and in the right lane to begin with-so why would you be hanging in traffic behind me to begin with? That’s what the left passing lane is for-pass me by and be on your merry little way!;)
