For the most part, the larger carriers limit their trucks somewhere in the 60 to 70 mph range, so you're not gaining that much somewhere else. Also, we are subject to dispatch to Canada where a number of provinces require trucks to be limited to 65 mph. There is a rather stiff fine if they find your truck isn't limited.
So... whining about 3 mph???
Company drivers also earn a week of paid vacation (happy Chuck?) for every 125,000 dispatched miles. This starts after you upgrade to A-seat.

Well I am a big guy 6'5'' and around 300 lbs I havent had any problems sleeping in the past but if I have to get a CPAP and if it helps I'm all for it. Anything that will keep me healthy and alert out on the road will be a good thing.
If the doctor who examines you determines that you may have sleep apnea, he will make that medical diagnosis leading to a sleep test. BMI is only one of a number of factors that are used to make this determination. That being said, if you need to be on a CPAP machine, Prime will help you with the financing, and will work with you to make sure that you stay healthy on the road. A number of drivers have posted that this is one of the best things that has ever happened to them because of the improvement in their quality of life.[/QUOTE] -

Well, the trainer for one will know if you're eating or not and when you consider that a V8 is $1.89 and 2 hotdogs are $3 at the truck stop with Laundry being another $10.00 for 7 pairs of pants, shirts, drawers and pairs of socks..................................wesleyadams and bigboy1958 Thank this. -
