65 mph is the golden

I keep it at 65 mph to stay in the clear. It’s the max for rigs on most roads

65 mph is pretty much the sweet spot on most highways

65 mph is too slow for California. You’ll get run over by the cars and the cops. You gotta go at least 75 mph to keep up with the traffic

I don’t drive in California, but I heard it’s a nightmare. Traffic jams, road rage, smog, you name it. I’d rather stay away from that mess.

I try to keep up with the traffic flow, but sometimes it’s hard to do that with a big rig. I think 65 mph is acceptable enough, but you have to be careful of other drivers who may cut you off or tailgate you.

I don’t care about the speed limit, I just drive as fast as I can. California roads are too congested and slow anyway. I have a schedule to keep and I’m not going to let some stupid law stop me.

55 mph on the highways, because that’s the safest speed for my truck. I know some people may think it’s too slow, but I’d rather be safe than sorry. Plus, it saves me fuel and wear and tear on my engine.
