Message:: [QUOTE="Friday, post: 5479723, member: 180276"]I agree with everything here. Except point about trucks governed at 62-63 passing. I get passed by a whole bunch of them every day as well. Takes them like 20 seconds. And my truck (with properly inflated tires) goes 61.4 (yes I have it down to a science here) on cruise and 64.9 when I push the pedal. That said, I'm all for those guys passing me. It's not about "shouldn't be attempted". It's about "why don't you wait for a break in traffic before attempting this?" I regularly pass other schneiders, and at times Crete, swift and JB hunt. Now those Crete/jb/swiftie are the worst. Trying to pass a company truck that's governed at 62 but is going 61 and they know I'm governed at 60 but going 62? People go bat #### crazy and do everything in their power not to let me get by. Which is when the pedal comes into play and they're left in dust. Perhaps worse yet are the schneider IC's. Every once in a while I'll come up on one that's cruising at 60. No other traffic, so hey, I respect your fuel saving choices. But I don't pay for mine, so I'd please like to go in front of you. And 80% of the time the IC will speed up to 80 when he sees me beside him. Which is also cool. I'm all for your ungoverned truck. Just .. ah right. There he will be, 400 feet in front of me, going 59. Hello onguard. Ugh.[/QUOTE]
