Semis tailgate. They speed. In 1500 miles on the 15, and thence to the 80 Some guy
will run up on my tail. Forget about draftiing at 65
mph. Those suckers are moving at 70+.
Pray tell, what's a, "safe" distance. In a bicycle pace line, you can save around 20-25% of effort. What do you gain drafting a, "loaded" truck at a, "safe" distance.
How fast you rolling anyway?
