My company truck is gps tracked. I'm allowed 5 over the speed limit. So I normally have the cruise control set for 3 over. You should see the number of drivers trying to run my ass over. I hate the tri axle dump trucks. They fall under the DOT short haul rules. So the more runs that they can get in, in a day. The more money they make. They don't get paid by the mile, but by the haul. So they speed everywhere.

Yeah, with at least 3 "sand and gravel pits" between us and town - those guys go flying everywhere. And there's major road construction going on in that area as well. They can't exactly stop on a dime and we're in heavy deer territory, I've seen more dead deer on the roads around here - dozens of them. Rut, I suppose. If I maneuver to miss a deer or have to slow down fast...............

Yeah...... I seen a lot of road killed deer. Between the rut, deer season, and coyotes chasing them. Wonder that there ain't more killed.

Wow, 3 over the speed limit here and people would completely lose it.

Iowa "right to speed" law is 10. Most troopers or cops won't bother with 10 or less over. Even speed cameras are set to 11, and, our insurance thing will trigger at 11 over. So I set cruise in between, about 5 or 6 over. Nothing to hide - and I've saved almost $700/year on insurance, get better mpg
