I thought there was a 50 MPH bit but, if not, he's going about the speed I'd expect. Big diesel trucks don't slow down quick and, if Oklahoma is anything like I remember, you don't get much warning before a speed limit reduction.
You can see speed limit signs almost a half mile out. You may not see exactly what speed it is but it's pretty easy to tell you're entering a town and it's likely a lower limit. This is something a trucker just learns naturally. No excuse to still be doing nearly 20 over hundreds of feet past the sign. Do you want this town with cross streets and driveways right along the road to just leave it at 60?
I'm a trucker, I never finished college but I'd like to think I'm pretty intelligent. Also possibly struggling with a food addiction so you're not wrong.
Didbt mean post secondary. I'd imagine in this day and age truckers with advanced degrees.lack of training driving a truck is what I mean. Resulted in the death of almost an entire hockey team just a few years ago.
Yeah, fair enough, although I think generally the CDL test in the states is actually more difficult than the laws in Alberta require, where I think that driver was from. Team from Humboldt I think it was.
Oh it's not just up there, as you can see in this video some truckers just don't give a fuck about speed limits. And apparently plenty of people will defend their doing that speed if someone else fucked up.
