I run between 65 to 70 around what the trucks run.I could run faster as the tires are rated at 75, but the truck and tralier are pretty heavy. Stopped at the cat scales on the way down, weighing in at a total of 26,132 lbs. I try not to follow the trucks as they kick up a lot of debris. I made it from Michigan to Texas around 1700 miles ok, but then got stuck behind this semi for about 5 miles. During that time the semi kicked up some rocks, and now there is a pretty large chip in the center of my windshield. Still all in all pretty lucky, 1788 miles and that was the only incident.
