What speed is your company truck ogverned at? Also What company do you work for? I get pasted up SO much on the road, its sad, and lonely at the back of the pack. Anyone else out there as slow as me?

Central Reefer: 65 MPH

Faster than what you poll says, but then again I don't have a company truck. :wink:

I drive a tri axle dump truck and its not governed so as far down as a push the pedal the hard the dog will run.

My truck is not governed. But like Mad Dog, I own my own truck. There are some companies who govern their trucks at 72 mph. If you want to get a true picture of what companies are governed you should expand your poll to include everyone. 8)

The company trucks at Marten are set at 65. The Columbia I got consistently runs 66 with spurts up to 67. It used to go only about 63-64 but when it had it's first service they straightened it out for me. One thing that bugs me though is that after going down a hill faster than the governed speed the engine won't "kick" back in until it gets down to 63 then I also have to wait for the turbo's to get going again (C15 CAT). I don't mind running 65 that much but it sucks not being able to get around someone that's being a pain in the a$$, driving erratic or non consistent speed. I've slowed way down to get away from these people but I always manage to catch back up with them. The only solution is to stop and take a short break but then I just lose more time.

Bah I had put more options I thought but I must have done it wrong. How can I edit the poll?

[whodat54321]

start a new poll.

include as choices:

70-75 mph
hurricane force
whatever the rev limiter cuts in at
whatever blows up the motor
does using neutral on a 8% downgrade count?
jet propelled, what speed limit?
