    90 km/h works well for fuel economy I drive it every time that I have leeway on my deliveries 90 to 110 works out to about 1.5 mpg if not more on my truck

    Do you drive with your hazards on? That's brutally slow and a hazard on a highway marked as 110. I'm sure the red army is passing all the savings to the drivers!

    There were times, going through Kentucky, that I WOULD put my 4 ways on. At three in the morning, they would barrel through at 75 mph and I was positive they wouldn't notice until it was too late.

    I was pulled over one night by a Michigan state trooper because I was going too slow at 50 mph (minimum speed is 55). I didn't realize who he was and he wouldn't pass me so I slowed down so that he would. Instead he pulled in behind me and put his lights on. He was very nice about it and said he was checking that I wasn't tired. I explained about Manitoulin's policy and he wrote me a warning and told me to tell the safety department that going to slow was as dangerous as going too fast.

    Legacey express out of Woodstock on, terrible company for making drivers bend the rules, crappy equipment. Pay not bad for company drivers. Owner ops get raped.
    Sharp transportation out of Cambridge. Good company to work for, though push push attitude. Good equipment. Crappie pay.
    As for BLM that is so funny to read the comments some 24 years have gone by since I worked there, and scarface hasnt changed a bit lmao.
    I worked for Liberty linehaul many moons ago, they were a great company them. Not sure how they are today.

    Paul's is currently recruiting nationally and internationally. They offer flights and accommodations. They're either really busy, or just go thru a pile of drivers. Sounds like you have a story to tell ...... lets hear it.
