Speed is not your friend

They need to do like in Pennsylvania. Set speed limit at 55mph that slows most down to 65 or 70mph.

Or up it to 85 mph, that way more people will be doing the speed limit. :)

I've read some studies that say people will drive at their comfortable speed, regardless of what is posted. On wide open highways/interstates 65 mph is totally unrealistic and silly. Drivers are on the interstate to get somewhere, not to sightsee. Let them get there and get off the road so I don't have to deal with them. :)

I feel sorry for all the folks inconvenienced by someones poor driving.

I tow at 75mph here in AZ on the freeway.
I am alot more rock solid than alot of other folks around me.

I think I've heard this excuse for speeding before: "I know what I'm doing, not like the other guys on the road".

You can't just blame speed on this.
Gotta have more details.

Why kind of truck was he driving?
Was there a WD system used?
Was it anti sway WD?
Was it windy?

I have the correct truck and correct tires on my trailer to handle the speed.

I see it all the time, folks going way too fast, including trucks and trailers. I just hope that, after they pass me, they have the accident far enough ahead of me that I'm not also involved in it.

And to think folks are always asking about riding in trailers while in motion :S

Nope not towing, we were going home to Toquerville after doing some shopping in St George.

Probably just keeping up with the flow of traffic. Because that is always safer :R
