Very forward-looking. Don't most trucking companies pay per mile, making the incentive for drivers to drive faster?

Is it unacceptable to just govern the truck to 58 mph? Might make passing more difficult, but I see too many of them going 70-75. You'd save money on gas and on tickets, and your insurance company might even give you a break.
