I know you don't drive fast Waterloo, but I would still like to say this for those who may not have read it before...

You know there is a good reason that my truck has only been driven 55-58~ish mph all its life and less than 20 lbs of boost. We also refuse or re-negotiate the dilevery time any load that would require us to drive more than 600 miles in each driving shift too. -- all this while running UPS, FEDEX, and all the major carriers freight...

I refuse to let the roads beat the crap out of it, and I want as little downtime and problems as absolutely possible. -- To me, this pays the most, as I can keep it moving much more reliably than all those guys that go 65+ and are in my opinion,... "in a hurry" compared to my turdle-slow arsse.

I will always be a proponent of slowing down to below 60 mph in a big-rig. -- There isn't much money in constant problems like blown wheel hubs/seals, busted shocks, eaten up tires, worn out engines, intermittent wiring, and other constant minor problems due to the constant beating, and don't forget about the the fatigue of these horribly bad, in need of repair roads on your body too.

I know well that most of the truck owners and drivers completely disagree with my "pushing to go slow" or my "slow is better" philosophy but by god,.. If what someone is doing is not working out so good for them, ... and they are having constant problems -- perhaps a new strategy is warranted.

I have not heard of a single truck owner going out of business because they drove their truck below 60 mph and kept their boost down, but I have heard of plenty that loose their shirts who drive 65+ all day.

Like I said, it is not directed at you Waterloo,.. I am just putting this out there.
