why do drivers stand for governed trucks?

the days of the FAST trucks have BEEN gone for around 20 yrs now if not longer. when are some of these young whipper snapper drivers gonna get it

they think 70 is fast, firs truck i drove had a big camn 400 with a 5X4. it wasn't running good til she hit 90 or so; but like i said, those days are DONE

 

they were pretty well over in the 90's when I started to drive.

 

you mean y'all GET PAID to drive?????? wow am i doin it wrong..i thought the point was to drive around and look cool in the left lane.....

 

you don't "look cool" in the left lane. You HOMESTEAD it.

 

Really?? Guess I didn't get that memo....

 

not trying to argue....but....fast trks havent been gone for 20 yrs.....granted 78 isnt fast...but faster than a lot out here today....i have been out here for almost 22 yrs...and i have driven triple digit trks...owned one as a matter of fact....and it hasnt been that long ago...granted there arent near as many as there used to be....and the days of a 5X4 are rare now......

 

I had a fast truck until my last two years I got castrated. I was upset at first, but you get use to it and can still make the same money with a few adjustments.

The way I look at it is as a company driver you are paid money to perform a service for a company. They tell you what to do and in return they give you a check and benefits. When you look for a job make you a list of what's important to you and seek it out.

A fast truck doesn't make anyone a better truck driver. When you drive for a living it's time to throw the vrooom vroooom out the window.

 

Most trucks in Europe are governed at 90 ...





... km/h

 

This statement is what's wrong with this country. People don't mind government passing stupid laws and telling business's how to run their business, but if a business makes a decision then employees need to revolt!!!

I'm home everyday, weekends off, and make 90k. My truck does 61. Don't feel bad for me.

And never say never. Companies change policies all the time. Only fools select trucking companies based on speed of the tucks.

 

apparently yall don't get it
