Unfortunately, my Freight has never been over 90... I don't have the balls.... I rarely run more that 10-12 over. As they said... in many places, 15 over will put you in a heap o' trouble....

yeah-so is I-40 in the Mojave but there's always CHP wandering around slowing everybody down. That 55mph speed limit is E V I L :evil:

when I was in orientation at SRT our safety guy was showing us how our trucks computer will snitch on us. He showed us a report of a driver doing 115mph down Mt. Eagle. Of course the truck was rolling not powered by the engine. But none the less it proves the stupidity that still exists

see he said his running buddy had the front door....so was he going 122mph too????? some buddy if didn't say smokey was up the road......why would ya wanna do 122 in a truck anyway.....thats just asking to hurt yourself or others.....it's not like your driving a mustang or anything...it's a truck.......

as for warner trucks...thier show truck has 2 detroits back to back in it...he's putting 900 hp at the wheels...and 1200 ft lbs of torque....when he came to my school....we could hear him 3 miles away getting on the interstate when he left....said he was pulling a ld for old man werner somplace out west....going up hill in 18th doing 70 mph and the reason he wasn't going any faster was the car in front of him wouldn't move outa the way......

Okay. My truck is not governed. With 342 rears, I'm told that top end is somewhere around 127. Now, have I ever had it up there? Absolutely NOT! The tires we're riding on are only rated for 75. And I've had the dubious pleasure of having a steer blow out a sidewall at 68 mph in Kansas. Want to see just how mushy the steering can get with only one good steer tire? Want to see just how far down you have to bend to kiss your sweet a$$ good-bye? Then go ahead and mash the throttle. But let me know where you are so that I'm not on the same road with you.

Heres the real shocker...........I am only 15, never even been in a semi, and I realized that it was a lie. Seems to me that someone wants some attention. If you had been going that fast, I would slap you because more than likely, you would break something pretty quick going that fast even for a short period of time. Respect your equipment, and it will take care of you. Dumbass.
