In my view, trucks that are governed way way below the flow of traffic is a road hazard. make the trucks at least able to stay with the flow.

Think of it this way, Ma and Pa Kettle on a sunday drive on I-95, monday morning, northbound, in the middle lane. Major traffic hazard.

Swift because of there slow moving trucks. My Dad had a good saying. "A fast moving target is hard to hit" And you know something the man in all his life never had a single ticket or accident. And I agree with kenworth75
Trucks should be able to keep up with the flow of traffic. Hard to do in a 60 or 65 mph truck out on the oklahoma turnpike. Or any other place that has a normal speed limit.

I don't know, may be i drive in a different reality! But i rare have a problems, with above mentioned fleets. If you ask about a company, i'd say "Gainey" from IN. If you ask about tipe, i'd say reefers, and "trash haulers"! But it's just my observation, didn't mean to offend anybody. And like i posted b4, i still belive, that 1 to 3 years drivers, are most dangerous, :roll: cause of "overconfidence"

in all truth and reality, the larger the fleet the more you are going to see problems such as poor drivers more chashes. The reason for that is simple law of averages more truck equal more drivers equal more chances for things to happen. it is fun to joke and kidd around about the swifts out there. But i bet percentage wise every company has bad drivers. It just is not as prevelent as the big companies. So I do have to say Solo your right its a mute point.
