JB and Swift aren't the only ones that are governed to 65. So is WERNER.

As you said, numerous companies have 65 or 68 mph trucks, but many have drivers that have respect others, and do not have elephant races uphill on a interstate highway, and not have the sense for one or the other to back off, so that that mile long traffic jam behind them can get by. I am not pointing the finger at any one company, those drivers with no respect are everywhere. Even the ones that can run triple digits have no respect, for the simple fact they are trying to commit murder, by tailgating an SUV with young childen in it, at 75 mph.

They may be like the O/O and L/O at Werner - their trucks aren't governed.

beg to differ, but if they have werner on the side and they are going faster than 65 they are not company drivers.
I drive a kw900 for them and I keep getting asked if I'm an o/o - I dissapoint them when i tell them i am a company driver.

I wonder about Swift sometimes, I have had several of their company trucks blow my doors off lately.
