    Kind of hard to average 70 mph when every week you run into a long traffic back up because some super has crashed and blocked both lanes.

    Elephant races like this happen all the time
    Most people eventually give up and ratchet their cruise down to around 65.

    If you can average 55 to 60, you are doing good. No more paper log to claim we are averaging more than that.

    They should change E-Logs to 8 hours instead of 10 hours for shut down. It's screwing people. Those 2 extra hours could be used to make up time. I get why they would do it though.

    Driving while rested and resting while tired worked well for a long time
    But let's not turn yet another one into an elog crap slinging thread
    Just leave it as your estimated maximum productivity is not as high as you initially thought. And there is more to this business than chasing the long miles.
     
    Ruthless and Natural Thank this.

    That should be factored into the calculations.

    I guess I'll see what happens. Things can always be readjusted. You live you learn.
