I totally disagree with this.
Most privately owned trucks and some larger companies don't govern the speed of their trucks, HUGE companies do.
I said most, not all. Also, I can easily pass other vehicles going the same speed as me if I go 2 mph faster for a very short time. It doesn’t take miles unless you are going essentially the same speed.
On my latest trip, a truck pulled over in front of me way before he had to. If he would have waited 2 more seconds, I would have been by him. Instead, he pulled over and attempted to pass the other truck. They were going the same speed for most of the time. Eventually, he made the pass. That was not the governor. That was the operator. Btw, I’ve seen everything from small cars, trucks, and RVs doing the same thing. Not hating on the truck industry. The fact is there are a lot of new truck drivers out there that are very bad at their job just like there are bad/iconsiderate regular drivers.
No, all trucks don’t drive like that one. Some are super considerate and I experienced them as well on the same trip. I try to hurry by them if it is obvious they are catching the truck in front of them. I do the same for cars.
