The speed limit is 55 for trucks. Cali is screwed up with there split speed limits. Go to arizona and trucks will blow by you doing 75

It's not the don't give a crap or being a Jack-ass. It is the fact that trucks are very limited on speed the can run and we will get pulled over long before a pick-up is towing a boat or whatever at 75! Also alot of the trucks have goveners on them and a driver will run on that limit as much as possible to make money. if one truck is in the slow lane at 58 and the other can run at 60 yes its going to take a little time to get around. Give them a break they are out doing a job not going on a vacation! Now if this is on a hill you are talking about its not rocket science. On pulls better than the other or is carrying a lighter load. If I am pulling a grade better than another then you can bet that rather than loose momentum I will pass and I dont care how long it takes. Sorry if I hold you up 2 minutes out of your'e life. Mark
