Prolog to this post. My first ‘big truck’ job was with a small regional fast freight expediter based in Michigan. At the time – Michigan max truck speed was 55mph. Although I held a CDL A, being low experience, I was assigned a 24′ box straight truck. The truck was governed out at 55. However, I was dispatched with many deliveries to other states with much higher truck speeds. Often I was the slowest truck, actually slowest ANYTHING on the highway.
