    2-3 depending on where you start moving at on the clock.

    Or zero....if you don't time it right.

    Fresh start in the morning....1 mile.

    My company is currently at 2, but the powers that be are considering uping the number to 15 or 20. I've expressed my concern, but they tell me that most companies are running about 15. I think they're crazy.

    Mine put me on the drive line after going over 10mph, mine aren't measured by miles you drive. I learned if I don't go over 4th gear(straight 10spd) then it won't put me on the drive line
