AAA is running 62 no more. I have a driver in a Chevy single axle blow my doors off just north of Atlanta the other night. The others seem to be running the same speed Averitt is.

That SA Chevy must have been an old T.J. Blackburn Syrup Works tractor.
In the late 50's they run "lasses" out of Jefferson, TX to the eastern markets.
Across AL and thru Atlanta. Said to have 454 engines, 5 speeds and 3 way brownies. The trick was he was pulling a flatbed with like 18" high sideboards loaded with cases of 1 gallon cans of molasses and tarped tight. You try running with him from B'Ham to Atlanta on old US78. It would be a learning experience..

If it was a strait truck they are not turned down. GM would not service waranty if they turned them down. And if it was at night probly a dedicated run truck. Tractors are still at 62. I run dedicated out of CHT with tractor but the strait truck boys pass me every night.

I run dedicated out of Pensacola and our trucks are set at 67. The linehaul tractors are still 62.

it wasn't a straight truck, but it was newer than a 50's model. I'd say late 90's chevy. After I posted that message, I had another Volvo pulling doubles pass me. Maybe you guys' trucks are like ours....some will run and others won't.

Makes you yearn for the old days with gas egines and vacum governors,
A new flat blade screw driver - No slip off to damage the screw heads.
A spare hankerchief - Pad the screw driver in the screw head slot.
Round toothpick -To ease between the cover and diaphragm- break vac.
Get back in and make miles. Pedal softly when you ran across another company driver and don't wind it out in the lower gears.
Nearing home remove the pick, snug up the screws, toss a handful of road dust over it make it blend with the carb and all is well.
