63 MPH trucks

102561

{"text":"I have a question for all you drivers running for big outfits at 63 mph. To start out I've done the big company van stuff in the 90s., back then there where a lot of split limits, cars 65, trucks 55. They've fixed some of this thank God  I have experience and can pick. So no vans for me and at least 70mph trucks. I wasn't trying to offend any Van driver, it's not for me though. Because I have a fast truck I can make time and get unloaded and loaded again, vs. the company truck the next day. Enough said, how do you put up with it, don't you think about what you could do with even a few extra mph? \nThanks  people ","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I believe we should all slow down for safety. if your truck governed at 70. run 65 so you still. have pedal to pull ahead if need be.","replyToPid":0}

458791 发表于 2021-06-15 04:15:33 I’m with a company that has trucks governed at 68, but weather, weight of load, terrain, and traffic permitting I prefer to set my cruise control to 65 because I can’t stand getting into a speed war with someone else that is governed close to me. If I come up to someone doing less than 65 or struggling to pull uphill, I know that I have more guts left in my truck to get past them without getting into a speed war that lasts for miles and causing a jam up behind me. I really can’t stand that when slow trucks do that. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! VERY SELFISH!

","text":"I'm right there with you. Or the guys who are barely faster and pull out in front of a line of cars. My god, slow down, let the cars pass, then go. ","replyToPid":428657}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I ran 70-72 when I ran for someone else. Now that I own my own truck I'm always 65-67. The cost difference is very noticeable ","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"ok what about the ones who deliberately tailgate the slow trucks or the ones who can do 70+ and have a slow truck pass and they deliberately hold them in the hammer lane causing a traffic impediment? I'm governed at 67 and it happens to me quite often and those drivers won't let me get out of it or allow the pass to be completed","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"There’s a reason why mega companies govern their trucks to about 62-65 mph. Many truck drivers nowadays are on their phones and not paying attention to the road, and they don’t care if you see them while they’re passing you at 70+ mph. How long before they go off the road trying to avoid a rear-end collision or worse being involved in a rear-end collision, resulting in a lawsuit of millions of dollars because this driver killed two kids in the back seat and permanently injured the mother? This is some serious stuff. Every week somewhere in our country there’s probably a truck driver in a situation like I described above.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I run mine at 65-67 mph for the fuel mileage. Truck will run about 105 and is cranking out 750 hp. It’s hilarious when those 68 mph Volvos try to pass me on a hill. Mine maintains 67 and theirs drops to 40.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Most company trucks have governors set at 65 so the drivers can’t go any faster than 65. Some drivers go about 62-63 mph for better fuel efficiency ","replyToPid":0}
