[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 87338, member: 484"] Trick That statement and all the others are different than the one posted where he said he just puts it on cruise control and leaves it. That statement says that he will adjust his speed when necessary, but he intentionally drives slower than the posted speed limit during his whole route. Completely different situations and statements. As a driver, speed limits are there to keep traffic moving along at a consistent rate. The limit is the speed at which the majority of vehicles will move down the road. So why, regardless of conditions is the feeder driver going to go slower, except that he is intentionally attempting a work slowdown. I can not understand that mindset. As for triples, they are not allowed in very many states, so that shouldn't be too much of an issue. As far as the doubles, yes, the last trailer will amplify whatever corrections the driver does in the cab. But I have traveled extensively, many times behind a set of doubles, and have never seen any issues that would cause the driver to proclaim that he needs to do under the speed limit for the whole trip to be safe. Come on, be honest, dont hide behind safety. The statement made is not safety related, it is something else. And that is what prompted my question. d [/QUOTE]
