@Tree trucker I agree with you. Everyone on the highway 29 north and south and hwy 97 the idiots don’t bother going at least 5 over which makes the speed 60 on them highways everyone is running you over. I wish everyone would chill and just enjoy the scenery and not run everyone off the highways

Hahahaha. Well I’m surely laughing at these comments.. these are a joke.. yall sure know it all.. some of you are mechanic for a reason.. anything could’ve went wrong.. but hey let’s run our mouths.. let’s shut these trucks down to 55.. but hey.. let’s not look at the cars and pickups doing 90 down that road.. it’s all the log trucks fault.. they go to fast.. it’s a heavy load.. etc… blag blah blah.. ya know if you dont know what you talking about.. it’s best to keep your mouth shut.. but that dont stop these arm chair laptop phone beating fools from beating those fingers on the keyboard

Some of the comments on here about log trucks is absolutely hilarious!! And to the so called “master mechanic” tuning the computer in trucks is not illegal and definitely does not void the warranty lol. Every time I buy a new truck I have the dealer turn the power up and take the governor off! And yes I haul logs around here so watch out the bad guy is here!!

in wv they were overloading their coal trucks with the same results as the tree trucks. so they gave them bigger trucks and increased their load to suit the trucks, but now they overload the new trucks the more you haul the bigger the paycheck.

pressure to haul as many loads a day to feed youre family is paramount then you have theses results. some folks have it as easy as selling a few pairs of shoes or such to make ends meet. some dont

Appears to be speed ,Who set the governor UP on the diesel engine in the truck ???? Factory Governed Hi side on fuel pump is approx. 1950 RPM’s faster they go ,the more loads they make daily.Adjusting anything on the engine is Against CFR Regulations & it also voids the manufacture’s warranty.
Yes thank God no School Bus w/kids was around,By The Way I’ve had trucks pass me way over the Posted speed limit
