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