As I've stated in the previous thread, the Mack CL713 quint axle I drive presently can hit 75 like it was nothing, although I have yet to actually put it through its paces. If I had to take a gander, I'd say it would top out somewhere in the mid to high 80s.

No. I'm driving someone else's dump truck. It's ungoverned, but would probably top out around the mid to high-80s because the rear end ratios are significantly taller than what you'd find on a road tractor.
