So I was driving around the Olympic Peninsula this past Summer. A fully loaded logging truck was tailing me pretty close. I approach a steep hill, thinking this is where I lose this guy. No dice. As soon as I get to a passing lane I let this guy by. He was also taking sharp turns at probably double the suggested speed. My question is: What kind of engines/other performance specs do logging trucks have in that part of the country? I've driven on less steep highways in WV and you see trucks going 40 mph on the highway just struggling to get up the hill. Thanks.
