| As I've stated in the previous thread, the Mack CL713 quint axle I drive presently can hit 75 like it was nothing, although I have yet to actually put it through its paces. If I had to take a gander, I'd say it would top out somewhere in the mid to high 80s. |

| No. I'm driving someone else's dump truck. It's ungoverned, but would probably top out around the mid to high-80s because the rear end ratios are significantly taller than what you'd find on a road tractor. |

| I made a post regarding the different vehicles I've driven HERE. As you can see, I've never had the opportunity to drive a triple digit truck (unless my neighbor's F450 counts), nor do I feel any particular need to. |

So, they raised it from 62?
I've noticed, it took me a bit longer than usual, to pass one of them! 8) |
