but O/O's, like myself, our trucks aren't governed, I can do 80 if I so inclined, but I don't, I'll usually keep it at 60-65 mph unless I'm in a state, like CA where I'm restricted to 55 mph and have to stay in the right lane unless I'm passing another vehicle.

In Utah, I'm allowed 70 mph on the interstates and 80 on the rural hwys.
