okie-I guess it is just knowing that the cb jokes will be about Crete
Use the -/o switch. I ran over 12 years with no cb. big deal, nothing worth listening to anyways and at 62-65 don't really need to know where the bears are...
According to my GPS company side Prime trucks run at 62MPH (Lease runs at 72MPH) so you can always pass one of them at 65mph. Albertson's runs at 55MPH
:P :lol:

55? yikes! It's my understanding that US Xpress & Swift both run at 65. USX drivers can bump up to 68 depending on how much fuel they're using. JB & SNI are between 62&63 Trans Am is 65-67 I do believe.
Most people who want faster trucks generally are late anyway. Whether it was governed at 65 or 95mph, they would still end up being late to their pu/del and blame everything and everyone else for it.
ran for Crete for awhile never could get use to that optimize idle,if its cold I can sleep good,but hot weather is something else,on and off all night,never got a good nights sleep and dont think I could ever get use to it.
crete goes faster than 65mph. i can go 70 and struggle to pass a crete sometimes... maybe they are in a different division/account where they run faster...
We run 65 at Barr Nunn as well and it really honestly just doesnt bother me that much. Being able to run 68-70 really does not make that much difference in the long run anyways. say you get a 68 mph truck instead of a 65, if you ran non stop at this speed for your entire 11 hour shift without stopping or slowing down for anything or going up any hills at all(you know none of this will happen) you would gain 33 miles for the entire day and that would be under 100% perfect never gonna happen circumstances. It would be 55 miles on a 70mph truck...it just really doesnt make that much difference. I really dont care myself, i am being paid well for my time and not spending any of my own money to make the truck run. 65 works for me, pass me all you want and blow some more of that fuel out those stacks, after you get done stopping for coffee a few times i am still gonna beat ya to the customer lol.
