SWIFT, Speed/lane restrictions apply to you too

73 in any speed zone is pretty much instant termination at Swift.

 

Well it was recorded thru safety dept because if i recall anything over 70mph is a violation at swift, definatly not getting out of that one swift!!

 

That seems to be a common theme though, guys speeding down mountains. What is the hurry?? I was always under the impression that is the one place u do not speed. I had traffic backed up behind me on cabbage last week. Its down to one lane with construction i was doing my usual 35mph working the engine break between low and high . i was at 80k pounds and there had to be 6 trucks right on my tail the whole time? What is the hurry? I dont get it sometimes

 

Really awful idea to pick Colorado of all places to drive 73 down a mountain after what happened a couple months ago ‍

 

I went down Monteagle this week and it was the same thing. I’m jakin down at 35sh mph with 25 ton in my hopper and I about got ran the hell over. I know a lot of people think “oh Monteagle’s nothin” and compared to out west perhaps, but even so, if poop hit the fan around a corner I would be able to stop, I’m not so sure the others would. And I get you can get away with a lot more if you’re empty, but I saw seals on them there doors!!

 

You forgot to tell them "leave earlier so you don't have to tailgate me & tailgating me is not going to get you there any faster.

 

That means you were speeding too... that's an 18 mph limit on cabbage for 80k lol. I've had someone bark at me over the cb on cabbage for going 35 and holding them up. People are dumb.

 

Yeah thats what i was about to say the speed limit is 18 lol ive had ppl run past me at #### near 55-60 mph. Its crazy sometimes

 

Lol good ol monteagle, that hill is always a cluster ####.
