trucking companies that do not govern trucks or can at least do 70 mph

What I love is when I goto pass a truck and they speed up...lol....love their look when I match that speed then floor it away from them.

 

Whichever ones don't have computer software that disciplines you for going over 70mph downhill, while their trucks are governed at 62. If anything, just focus on that. Sure I can understand why the speed is governed, but if I go 70 in a 70 zone, don't send be a msg telling me I'm not a safe driver because I let a hill bring me up to the speed limit lol. Anyways, it wouldn't be bad to ask companies when you call them. I've know of some, but they are out of business.

 

Ahhh I definitely do NOT miss driving a governed truck. Wide open is best.

 

I think govrend trucks are unsafe in 70 mph zone and they cause dangerous passing situations

 

I manage 5.5 running between 80-85, and yes, a texas company

 

Been saying that yet guys still take the job,until the sheep stop it will never change.

 

Surprised no ones pointed out that Fedex ground contractors often don't govern their trucks

And I think running wide open is something you don't really want until you've had it.
Being able to say #### you and pass the idiot who can't decide if he wants to run 60 or 70 is very liberating. Running open gives you that pleasure, it isn't really about running hammer down for your full 11 like a lot of you are assuming.

 

Having a truck that can pass about 90% of other trucks makes the job much less stressful...
No getting hung out in the left lane or having to put up with those 4 wheelers that pace along next to you.
Plus being able to get a run at a hill really helps too....
If I was governed at 65 or so I would need anxiety meds!.....lol!

 

I just went from a 75mph truck to a 65mph truck and it SUCKS. Constantly in the way (run predominantly out west) and yes it has affected my legal productivity. But by far the worst part is being a moving chicane...

 

The slowest truck I've ever driven went 67 and that was a rental. Company I currently work for runs 70-75, my truck will cruise at about 71.3. And yes, it royally sucks if you're used to a fast truck then go to a slower one, especially out west. Seems like it takes forever and it does make your day seemingly quite a bit longer, especially when you're putting in 700+ in a shift
