Jar-Head Thanks this.

I can tell you last week if I'd of not run fast I'd of never been able to do the last load I did. I did give up mpg probably around 1 mpg to be honest and I'd of spent about 250 less on fuel which I know you fuel hawks will say it would've went in my pocket correct?
-
But I will say this if I hadn't run as fast as I did and mind you it wasnt an Hour issue it was an appointment issue I'd of never been able to generate the revenue the last load paid me.

popcorn169 Thanks this.

I go as fast as legally possible on my way home. Rest of the week I'll go slow.
-
Just my 2 cents so take it anyway you wish. -
Sometimes running faster is the way to go..not talking about blazing down the highway weaving in and out.
Just picking up the pace when needed.
There will always be a debate over this..not trying to start one..just saying we drive OUR way for a reason. -
100% agree with you. -
Just keep this in mind also. Several years ago a Missouritrucker ran into a string of stopped cars just over the Oklahoma border on I-44.Nine people killed, and he was given 20 years for manslaughter. Pleaded guiltybecause his lawyer would not be able to defend him because he was going 4 MPHover the limit and the prosecutor was going to try each case as an individualmurder. If I recall correctly he had driven for 20 years with a clean record.
My point being isthat YOU the truck driver have a giant target on you from the cops, lawyers andprosecutors along with big $$$ from those injured. I MPH over the limit is allit takes and youre on your own.
