Default These guys are flying............

Just a simple observation I have made in my training with my mentor so far is that it seems that Prime and US Xpress drivers break the posted speed limits quite often. I will be maintaining 65 mph and they will pass me like I'm standing still. Anyone that drives for them, are your trucks governed or not? Just curious. Thanks.

As far as I know, the Prime lease trucks are not governed, and I have heard rumors that some USXpress trucks are no longer governed due to warrenty issues with CAT.

Well they are from the show me and the speed limit is 70mph there, so you are going 5mph under the speed limit. All speed limits west of the Mississippi river, and in the southern states are higher than 65 mph. As a matter of fact most states speed limits are at least 65 mph. Just keep your newbie butt in the right lane where you belong and mind your own business!!! And Dawn, you don't even drive a truck, so keep up the good work fighting with Rev and Hobo and keep your mouth shut about how fast a driver goes!!! Your out of your area of expertize....lol.
