75 or what ever I can get away with or what ever speed I need to get back over when I am polite and some SOB in a BMW, Benz won't let me back over.
What speeds do you guys like to run?

I drove a govrn truck 67 with three cameras in it ha ha ha ha ha ha

62 is the sweet spot. 1850 rpm. 10 lbs of manifold pressure. 8 mpg. Engine Breathing easy. Run right lane all day long and still pass mega zombies bumper humping each other in the middle lane. Mechanical pump controlled by common sense can back out of it or run it up to 2400 as passing or being passed applies to keep a nice flow instead of just sitting there with my thumb up my butt letting the computer drive the truck on a governor.
Canadianhauler21 and Opus Thank this. -
Depends on where I am and the season, usually 62-64 here in the north east, if I’m rolling west I’ll stick with a few over the limit, unless it’s hot/snow out,
Canadianhauler21 Thanks this.
