    Monfort forever.

    I tell you what, some of my first western runs matched horses with them. Until I found out they really had some at past a dollar. I don't know sometimes what would have happened if I moved out there just to join em.

    I'm stuck at 68. No way I could go back to a slower truck.

    My point was that if you get passed by a Prime trailer, it wasn't pulled by a Prime truck.

    No bull ####, today I was going 65 down i94 and got passed by a street sweeper. He was doing about 70. Explain that one.

    They choose to drive slow for the fuel bonuses as said . Otherwise it's 62 for company and 65 for lease . If the prime truck was going that fast on flat ground he/she most likely owns the truck or drives for a fleet owner that pulls prime trailers
