    I'd tell you no problem see ya and take my 23 years experience and safe driving record to a company that does run at least 70!

    KLLM from all I have seen can't do 70mph. I run 70 And pass by every one I see with no issues

    From November to June. Had 2 volvos and a Frieghtshaker and they all topped out at 68. I would have loved 70 on my west coast runs.

    The shop turned up the limiter on request. I don't think there was ever an official announcement, I only found out about it on the Abilene thread on this forum. 750+ mile days are fairly common on West coast runs with 72mph on tap.

    70 mph = more accidents - more fatigue- more tire blows- more road rage

    That's the most unfounded, ridiculous statement I've ever heard.
