Too conservative for the interstates
At 76 years, I have become too cautious for the "I" routes. Like to drive my rig at 62, I feel I am becoming an obstruction as speed limits rise. Since we want to make a 4000 mile visit to SD and W...

I drive my rig at 55 to 60mph max all the time, in every state. It is a comfortable speed for me, and I get to enjoy the scenery. I stay to the right. If I'm on a two lane highway I will take every available turnout and let anyone pass, even if it is only one car behind me. I try to be a conscientious driver. When driving through parts of Utah with a posted speed limit of 80, I often thought I should get out see if my wheels were spinning as people passed me, but in truth, it is my vacation, I want to see the world, and 55 is comfortable in a 33k lb coach. I have never had a truck driver honk/flash/intimidate me, I don't get in their way, I stay in the right lane. Cars pass me like I'm standing still, but when I drive my toad I also fly past the trucks and RVs at posted speeds (maybe plus 5). Enjoy the roads, you paid for them.
