    Is that because they fuel up at the derricks? Don't have to pay for fuel?

    Yeah so what- if them trucks want to save fuel or make a fuel bonus then that's their economic choice! It's your job to pay attention and by pass them: 52 is WAY safer than 80mph, the impact of a 52 mph wreck is nothing compared to a full speed mess up:

    But if everyone is flying and not paying attention then yea 52mph is a hazard- at the fault of the foolish "speed limit" operator.

    And so what if an owner goes a bit slower huh, think vibration of 75mph versus 52mph. Huge difference.

    I go about 60-65 depending on what truck I'm in. And i will take my time to enter the interstate, I'm not going dog out to cater to someone who won't get over. I'll either fall back or get ahead, but it's not my fault if you get stuck behind me for a sec, my bad.

    Also -I will end up slowing down if the terrain doesn't allow me to maintain 60+ Without pushing to hard.

    An old school owner/ successful owner will tell you to drive by your boost gauge. No more than 20, less than 10/15 if you really want to profit

    Company drivers vs owner mentality> with the few owners who go balls to the wall and run fast n hard. Whatever

    But if you paid the bills you might think a bit extra

    All this driving fast is so foolish. 95% of 4 wheelers are in their phone. Wisdom says let them pass and you cruise on

    On second thought- fast drivers carry on please

    The days I go 65-70mph are stressfull because we R all passing each other with a 1-3 mph difference

    So please fast drivers go fast, so I can coast in the right lane
