Thanks

Gameplay > Truck Speed Limiter > Uncheck it. On another note, that's the general speed limit for trucks irl.

If you are doing the External Contracts, you are stuck at 55mph (50kph).
Just the way it is.

In Europe 90kph is the legal limit for trucks. You can turn it off in the game but like gallagher4005 said, you will still have that limit for external contracts.

The devs have said the reason that the speed is always limited for external contracts is to make it fair for everyone when they do special events with rewards.

That is the speed european trucks are limited at in real life.
You can enter the game options an uncheck the speed limiter.

And for those who wonder if running down the highway at 140 km/h is realistic.... well, there are certain Italian and Greek companies whos drivers do it. Mainly companies that carry hanged fresh meat, where fast dliveries are important.

thats hagning cargo is even worth as a cistern with liquids. in emergency braking it makes the truck "jump" some meters ahead even when it is standing still.

Only if the country you are in has not a lower speedlimit set for trucks.

When you open the Gameplay Settings you can deactivate the speed limit

Yeah i should know, ive driven it. And my load was no joke either 47 freaking tonnes. the real problem is not braking, the real problem are the turns. The whole weight hangs from the ceiling making the center of gravity extremely high. You can roll over in a second if you are not careful.

Basically if a greek truck with a refrigerated trailer passes you going faster than the speed limiter allows him... you now know what it carries.
