I'm governed at 63. I usually just drive 60, I blame my OCD not wanting to drive such an odd number!But there are sometime where being able to drive 70 would've been MUCH appreciated. I wouldn't have had to drive 13 hours a day to be on time.
Even though that situation never happened. And you can't prove that it did. All my logs are legal... or at least look that way. Ugh, I rue the day paperless logs are the norm.
Surprise paycheck hit: goverened at 62 MPH

Properly compensate me for doing 62 MPH and not insult me with a toaster and I have no gripes.
I don't speed, cruise is set when traffic conditions permit use to do 70 by day and 65 MPH after dark if I had to drive at night. Now, I will most certainly be out after sunset trying to get'r done.... uhg and then searching for a place to park.lilillill Thanks this. -
exactly my point, what once took me 10 hours to get done will now take me 12+ hours with no additional compensation.
ZZOOOOMMM......ZZOOOOMMM......
There goes everyone including Schneider, Swift, CRE, CRST, Stevens...
Save me a spot, I will be there in a couple hours!lilillill Thanks this. -
I try to plan my trips according to large truck stop parking lots. I dont like to get caught behind and try my luck at a small TS in a metro area. Thankfully my "headache loads" are few and far between. But man, nothing is more emasculating then those #### Swift Volvos blowing the paint off my doors..

company drivers should especially understand.
