Az told Swift....."turn em up so they can do 65, or we shut you down". The team trucks (blue) will do 68, if I'm not mistaken.

I passed a couple of them the other day....and I max out at 68 on flat ground, so they must not have been turned up..... One tried, but he just couldn't make it..... 8)

I may not always be able to tell an O/O from a Company truck, but in general, I have noticed MORE Schneider, Swift and Hunts lately that are harder for me to pass, and I top out at 77!! :shock:

Something is going ON here!! I would like to know more about what AZ said to Swift! It seems to have worked! I have to tell you, although it may be a bit of a hit to my pride, I PREFER not to have to change lanes so often to pass all these slow trucks!!

Now..... If we can just get Illinois and California to raise their truck speed limits so I can get out of ninth gear!!! 8)

Did they bump up there governers???
From talking with one of their drivers because I was wondering the same thing what he told me was that team trucks are bumped up to 70 were solo trucks are at 65.

O/O's can buy the trucks from SNI, get the truck reprogrammed yet they still run under SNI colors and logo.
