Truck Driving Jobs

Fredog · #1 04-21-2007, 03:29 PM

it seems like every day i am going down the interstate in a 70 mph zone and sicne my truck isnt governed. I am going about 75, I pass a Shcneider or a Swift or a covenant that is doing 65, THEN a few miles down the road, we come to a 45mph construction zone, I slow down to 45, and a few minutes later, here here comes the other truck still doing 65mph, they never slow down, they seem to think that they have to do 65 all the time, then we get out of the construction zone, I speed back up and a few minutes later, I pass the same truck, then at the next reduced speed limit, we do it all again, dont the schools teach the drivers to slow down for construction zones or would that be too much trouble?

:? They wanna make up for lost time.

....poor bastids. I love passing them like they are standing still though. :lol: BLINK-BLINK...FLASH-FLASH :arrow:

I might even let them know on the CB...I am about to hammer-down...and add that "don't worry Driver...this won't hurt a bit." :lol:

You can just hear them wishing they had a fast truck....too. :P

Our company is governed at 63mph on the speedometer but trucks are actually running .55cpm. I would rather run .55cpm than .35cpm going 75mph or faster.

If you can go 70mph+.... more power to you. I'm fine with 63mph.

If you're so FINE with it, how about staying the heck out of the hammer lane when I'm trying to come through??

Just because you CAN (eventually) pass a truck governed at 62, doesn't mean you should even TRY! Drop the needle 1mph, and collect your big bucks! Some of us have got places to GO!! :lol:

So let me get this straight. You admit you are speeding, but are chastising others for doing the same thing?

I am going 75mph in a 70 mph zone on the OPEN ROAD, which most cops will allow
THEY are going 65mph in a 45 mph CONSTRUCTION ZONE, if you cant see the difference. you shouldn't be driving a truck

Sorry, Fedog: Your response didn't 'register' with him, since you failed to properly exercise the BBcode or whatever! :lol:

A quick look at his avatar should explain his "position." :lol:

Personally, I have experienced exactly what you were talking about! I have learned to expect this from such trucks, and plan my day around them! :lol:

The SECOND biggest danger on the road is split speed limits. The FIRST is governed trucks! For those idiots who are considering governing us ALL at 68 mph..... there should be a special place in HELL!

[Oh yeah, the THIRD biggest danger is Swifties and Hunters! :lol: ]
