I’ve got 2 friends still OTR, one of them will have 3600 this week when he kicks it off Monday, the other will have 3750. One in 68 truck, other in 65 truck, both will still have hrs to go get loaded & repeat.

I need a better company bad!
65 mph with 666 miles there and back avgs 60mph on an 80 mph speed limit highway.
That's 11.1 hrs of drive time. Throw in offload, Pre trip, Fuel and post trip. That's 3hrs
14.1 - 14.6 is the day on TX 15hr.
You boost the speed to 75 which safety is pleading his, case but he wont' because its a Mega place. They don't make exceptions!
70 mph avg /666 = 9.5 vs 11. that 1hr 40 mins saved. Governed 75 mph
75 mph avg / 666 = 8.8 vs 11 that's 2hrs 30 mins saved. Governed 80 mph
Yeah I'm paid by the load, and not miles or hrs.Last edited: Oct 6, 2019
Reason for edit: added some mathalds Thanks this. -
However a engine that will red line at whatever power that is possible is very attractive. Not like the neutered engines that roll over and die at 1650. -
alds Thanks this.
