Tumbleweed, I guess I will see you on the first. I am from Georgia also. I would really like to see the country, but I am married, and have a four year old son and another one the way, due in March. Also, I am not sure if driving through the Rockies in the snow during winter is a great way to start my driving career. From what I hear, chains will do nothing to stop your descent from a steep mountain road.

If the speed limit is 70, then I want to go 70 or so. At 70, I have seen Petes passing me like I was parked.

Well that is not true. You want to make money and get a bonus. 3 cpm over a quater is a nice bonus so even if it does 70 65 is good. All them trucks you pass doing 85 is because they are making up time from hanging out in the truck stop playing games and watching tv.
