So after this I decided to test the idea as I pulled Pequop hill Eastbound in Nevada. That's the big grade about 30 miles east of Wells, NV. I started the hill at 70 mph and held that just fine until I had to slow down to 50 for two semis at about halfway up the grade. Once they were moved over I floored it and reached 70 again a minute later. Down the other side I set the cruise at 75 and it maintained it all the way to Grantsville.

@Hickey As a truck driver, does it piss you off when a semi pulls out I. Front of you to pass another slow semi? Asking for a friend

It seems to me that since the need for drivers has increased, the quality of drivers has decreased. It probably falls into the category of fogging the mirror qualifications. I know that small vehicle drivers have always been less than courteous to truck drivers, but in the past the professional drivers have always maintained a level of professionalism and road etiquette. That seems less common now. I have had a couple of rigs pull right out in front of me when I am about to pass them in my motorhome. Maybe they see that it is a tractor chasis and think I don't have the HP to get past them quickly and think they have time or maybe they just don't care.
