I doubt they are governed. I had a dually with a Cyclone pass me today up a hill on I-40 in TX near NM. He had a white plate on the license plate and orange zip ties on all the locks. I had cruise on 62, I bet he was pushing every bit of 75 (the speed limit). No wonder there are blow outs of factory tires when a trailer is bought new.
