I'm on a run from Phoenix Arizona to Tacoma Washington. The problem is that being a company driver I have to talk the route they send me If I run across the 10 and up the 5 it's 1476 miles. But the route they sent me is 1428 miles. The problem is that this route goes up the 93 from Las Vegas Nevada, to Twin Falls Idaho. Which covers 506 miles of the trip, up a two lane highway with a speed limit of 70 mph. Now this is my real problem. I'm driving a 62 mph truck I don't really care about the speed. My problem is that 500 miles of 70 mph two lane highway at 62 mph. I'm a road hazard I firmly believed that if your vehicle is incapable of achieving the speed limit, you should not be allowed to travel that road It's different for an interstate highway, of course. The interstate highway has multiple lane people can pass the slower traffic. At one point today I came up on a slower truck than mine. C.R.England. When we got up to a passing lane and I went to pass him, I actually couldn't get all the way past him before the passing lane had ended and was forced to go into the oncoming lane to finish passing him.:-0 Which brings me to the whole truck driving school graduate subject I will talk about some other time See, I'm the kind of driver that when another truck catches up to me, I will slow down, or move over so they can pass But ever since the trucking companies have started taking kids off the streets and putting them threw truck driving school so they can pay them a lower wage. we've had to put up with inconsiderate truck drivers So anyway. Todays rant is just that I believe that it should be illegal to travel on a stretch of road if your vehicle can't reach the posted speed limit.>:0
