Have you ever been through Eau Claire? In 2010 it was just over 65,000 people, 2019 probably still under 66,000. If the original poster stayed in the right lane running 55 he should have been fine. I absolutely hate getting passed by an endless string of speeding cars/trucks also but when I drove semi it was unavoidable. I bet the "Eau Claire Rush Hour" is 10-12 cars running 3 to 5 mph over the posted speed limit and probably only added 10-15 seconds to their trip home from work.
Company I used to work for built scrap shredder rotors, imagine a hammer mill rotor 7 feet in diameter and 9-10 feet long on a 16 or 20 inch forged alloy steel shaft. The spiders and end disks made from cast alloy steel heat-treated to 30 Rockwell C scale. With none of the wear parts they weighed 45,000 to 50,000 pounds, we built larger models that weighed 85,000 to 90,000# too. We built special skids to set them on, 16 to 20 ft lengths of 4"x7" 1/4" wall rectangular tubing. Truck driver showed up with a brand new aluminum frame flat bed to pick a rotor up, by the time he got 1000-1200 miles away his trailer was sagging, when the rotor was removed the trailer stayed sagged. My company ended up buying the trking co. A new trailer but that was the last load of freight they ever got. Pretty expensive trailer! But putting that much weight in a small area on a trailer really risks damage to the trailer.
