I'm assuming these days most reputable trucking companies have fuel/speed regulators installed in their trucks. And I'm sure not all trucks are calibrated using the same equipment either but they are all for the most I think pretty close. Especially when I find myself stuck behind them.

Why in blue blazes does one trucker having maybe a .5 to 2 MPH advantage over another trucker even consider passing the other truck? Only to jam up faster traffic behind him while it lumbers along with a 1 MPH advantage. Its like watching two battling hippos.
