    Just add two hours on your trip to accommodate the inevitable 25-35MPH drive up the mountains. All Schneider trucks, even the ones with the DD15 are cut way back in power. It's a training company, so it's for the insurance company.

    That's true, hence the company policy of 60MPH trucks and anything over is "overspeed".

    what that means is they are self-insured.

    You must b a rookie.... Why did u go that way? The fastest route is I25-I40-I17 you are crazy for running that route. You guys really need a road atlas and look at what your dealing with.
