I've never worked for a company that had controlled the speed in that way, but I've often felt bad for the drivers that do. Yes, it would bug me to no end. The only thing that would make me feel better is if I was getting a fuel bonus from the company. That may ease my pain somewhat!

I have been in a 67 MPH truck since June. And yes, it annoys me to constantly be passed because I hate not being able to run the speed limit.

My days of driving at a high rate of speed are over, but I would at least like to run the speed limit.
