Has anyone else noticed that semi-trucks seem to have raised their overall highway speed? Up until recently (past 6 months or so), it seemed to me that semis were usually doing between 60-65 mph on the interstates (or other 65-75 mph limited roads). It was not uncommon for me to pass them in my Class A, which I kept at about 63 mph.
Now, semis are regulary doing 70 mph on interstates and 4-lane highways.

Could it be a lack of truckers due to immigration/licensing enforcement? Maybe trucking companies and manufacturers see the lower overall transit time as more favorable than increased fuel costs.

Just wondering.
