Default Did Schneider get faster?

On my way back to WI from PA today, I must have been passed a dozen times by those orange pumkins. My truck tops out at 67, they must have passed me doing 70 or so.

Did they bump up there governers???

They where for sure company! The odds of having a dozen or so orange century class tractors as a lease or O/O passing me in one day are pretty slim!!

Hmmm...maybe it was just one driver (one truck) who disengaged the governor and had to pee a lot! :lol:

I've noticed lately that it's getting harder to pass a pumpkin on the highway, and my truck is set at 68.

I was wondering the same thing about Swift. I passed one and I actually had to push the throttle down to get past him! :wink:

I have noticed a few JB drivers cruising right along! I am set at 64 but I had a hard time getting past one. I even had one pass ME in Oklahoma.

It was a probably pumpkin O/O. The difference will be the "Schneider" logo wont be on the top of the air dam.

I've noticed in Wisconsin at least one company JB tractor pulling an Intermodal trailer doing 68+. A double-take does one do! :shock:

Schneider O/O trucks dont have the black roadways on their pumpkins either.
