For a while here they were really slowing down. Probably when diesel got so high trucking companies tried everything they could to try to save on fuel. Now I see some (not all) picking up the pace again. Cheaper fuel and the aerodynamic kits might have something to do with it.

Back many years ago when Monfort was running a large packing plant in Greeley CO the cattle haulers used to flat get it on. The left lane was referred to as the Monfort lane. If you were in it you better be ready to drive because those boys pushed it hard all day. I remember some of those trucks would pour black smoke so bad if you were following you have to back off and let them get ahead a ways in order to see. One thing I notice now is you don't see near the black smoke any more even when they are really working them.
