Understand trying to "go with the flow". I do it too, both above and below ideal speeds. In Washington, the truck speed limit and the maximum speed is 60 for a huge part of the highway system from Olympia to past Everett, so it is pretty easy to take it easy
Get out toward Idaho on I-90 and it gets just like you say, big distances and people in a big hurry. I find a trucker with a light load and cruise control, and shadow him at a safe distance.
