speed limiters are why trucks take a half hour to pass another truck. saves gas mainly. like any group of drivers, some have no business going 80. much less in a large truck. the wrecks will be worse and more often.

Unless their limiters are not calibrated to the same value, they shouldn't have to pass each other.

Limiters with adaptative cruise should be the way to go IMHO.
