There are many reasons for this. First, check your coolant fluid level. Second, make sure your fan is working properly. Third, check your radiator cap and your thermostat. These need to be the correct temperature set for your vehicle. They both come in different temperature settings. Fourth, check your hoses for leaks and for weak places. Sometimes a hose may look fine but when under pressure the hose will collapse and prevent the free flow of coolant.

Is it okay to run an Cummings engine international conventional 18 wheel truck with a broken alternator fan belt?
I wanted to know why the truck did not overheat. Running on I95 for 65 miles at approx 60 mph. As long as the water pump is being powered by another belt it will not overheat. The alternator belt drives the alternator which keeps the battery charged and nothing else. Eventually the battery will loose all it's charge and the engine will stop running but a broken alternator belt will not cause it to overheat unless that same belt is driving the water pump. What if the belt is driving the water pump. If the belt that broke is driving the water pump the engine will overheat eventualy. Do you know what the shut down temperature is?
