why do drivers stand for governed trucks?

Now you guys do the same to these governed drivers as you blame them to do to you..!!

There's courtious fast drivers, there's courtious slow drivers, there're low flying cowboys who don't give a poop about anything, there's frustrated governed drivers...

I've been young too, trying to get my average speed over a 100 clicks when the speedlimit was only 80... Wasn't very smart, I have to admit. It's a bit the same as this jamin fellow. If he wants to do 75 - 80 mph with big loads of diesel fuel I don't think that's very smart. When he would do dry van with 65k gross weight I wouldn't mind at all...

 

I don't stand for governed trucks. I sit and relax.

 

Well I happen to be one of those courteous and cautious fast drivers when I see someone with their turn signal on I slow down and let them over in front of me and wait patiently until they win their 2 mile 64.8875 mph drag race and move on down the road.
I guess our paths have never crossed, I don't know you and you DON'T know me. So who's blaming who? Just making a statement. Unless of course you have a guilty conscious and never look in your left mirror count 3 blinks and turn your wheel then that might explain it all.
As far as the Triple Digits go, it's like this there are those that have and those that wish they could.
Fuel mileage is all a matter of opinion, you can't haul feathers all of the time so if you're grossed out or even overloaded it's what pays the fuel. Another choice and decision one makes, I haul by the pound not the boxes in the box.
I'll be courteous, I can't say I even heard of "courtious".

 

I drive 58 mph as a o/o. I could go faster but slowing down picks up 1.75 miles per gallon and I haul cars so my tires have a lot shorter sidewall than you guys.

Why do drivers stand for low pay and crappy conditions?

 

Courteous drivers on both sides... You're a good one..!!

Sorry, English is still my second language... I do my best..!!

 

It's all good and no apology needed! You have one up on me, English is all I know..... So many just don't care or have any respect for their fellow driver regardless of how many wheels they have.

 

Most don't very long . That's why OTR carriers keep CDL mills busy supplying fresh meat .

 

If you knew how to spec a truck for highway speeds rather than local delivery you'd getter mpg at 68 than you do at 58
