Fast
 

Whats the fastest you have ever driven a truck?

I should also ask what kind of truck it was.

Just curios, what kind of spidometr you have on those trucks? My last two trucks, had 85, for high nomber. :roll:

ClassicXL FR8liner - beautiful red chicken hauler truck. Speedo only went to 80 (85?) but was running with others at 90 - 95. (Man, those were the days....)

I was running I-80 in PA this night, when i hear on CB- "WHERE IS THAT WEST BOUND BEAR? i'M RUNNING 105MPH" So i ascked him, how would you know? No responce! :lol:

I drive a 2000 Mack Vision 460 pulling a coal bucket. The speedo registers 100. I've ran it up to 87mph before backing out of it.

Was in driving school, the truck I was driving was a 1999 freightliner and it was not governed. On I-80, coming up on three trucks going slower that I was, 65 at the time, by the time I pasted the lead truck I was going 85. The instructor told me I was going 85 when I pasted that truck. 8)

You see, that's the problem! Most of the drivers hwo can run fast, wouldn't do it , inless it's emergency, for few obvious reasons. And a lot of drivers hwo do run fast, have no idea, how to handle such speed! :sad: 20+ years ago, i was crazy about speed, and couldn't understand, why older drivers, well, most of them, don't run as fast, as they phisicaly can. Now i know why! I hope, you guys, well, most of you :) ,will drive, and live long enough, to find out for yourself! 8)

You know it's funny, I use to be a speed freak. I use to be a courier in Jacksonville, FL. Id have that little toyota pickup just a cookin. :lol:

I have sense then, mellowed out. Now people consider me a granny driver, and Im only 28. :lol:

Driving the trucks in cdl school, some of my class mates would ask me to speed up because Id drive slow and smooth. :roll:

I dont mind doing 65-70, but after that, I get a little tense.

Way to go Robert! You don't have to be old, to have a common sence! :D Only for some people, it takes longer, and some just never get it! :sad:
