    You missed the small print. In the U.S. you must always read the small print. At least this small print didn't disappear so fast you couldn't read it.:biggrin_25525:

    This is pretty much the attitude that has gotten us to this point in this country. Indifference and no care, let them do what they want to until it steps on my own toes. :biggrin_25513: stop being part of the problem!!!!! May not be hard to pre plan trips for YOU but on a job like i do it can be a real pain. I am on E Logs, in a governed truck and i run for a company that does multi stop loads to retail furniture stores that generally only take freight from 9to5. Makes it a little hard to pre plan trips on most days. Just because it doesnt effect you doesnt mean it doesnt suck for thousands of others. Think outside of your little bubble and look at the effect on the industry as a whole when you are looking at these over regulatory crap proposals! If you think all of the stuff thats coming down the pipe right now will benefit you in the long run then keep on dreaming.

    Already have them all you gotta do is apply to a government agency like OOIDA to get it. Check their tabloid banner eeerrr home page for details.

    Yep some get the exact same crappy fuel mileage at 60 as they do at any time. It's called the loose nut behind the wheel syndrome.

    There's a lot more to fuel mileage than simply speed, but that one's a little bit far-fetched. Specs?
