In the 18 wheeler: speed limit plus 5 or 10.
With the boat or cargo trailer 70 or 75 before I learned ST tires were only good for 65 mph.
Now, 65 because of the tires. When I replace them with LT tires I will go back to towing at 70 to 75.
No white knuckles, no blow outs, no problems. Yes, I am in a hurry. I have a job and limited time for recreation. I want to spend it at my destination with my family. Not poking down the road tying up traffic.
In the 18 wheeler limit huh? Plus 5 or 10 more? 18 wheelers are the same as 4 wheelers for the most part. Our RVs are not built like the big trucks and the speed limits are set to follow. I try to practice the rules of the road and start earlier if I need to be there on time. If Im doing the speed limit, or just under and others cant abide by it then they will just have to follow me. If there's going to be an accident then it will happen because the other guy cuased it from his impatienece! FWIW, I drove a big truck in another life and never ever gave any thought there to compairing an RV to a big truck and in fact,RVers get cussed at by truckers but they are the truckers that want to drive hard for the mileage. I got paid by the hour so I didn't rush. I had to pay my own tickets. So truckers aren't RVers and RVers aren't truckers in the professional sense.
