Actually, to worry about the clock is a fools game. We are in a business when done correct you should never have to even take a 34 hour restart. Mice on a wheel. Just spinning away.
Raiderfanatic and Ukumfe Thank this. -
It gets me about 45-50 miles or an hour down the road further each day I am out. At the end of the week, it's a good day or more I have gained. I can turn 660-670 or more miles where others are complaining they can maybe get 600-610 in a day. A slow day for me is 640-650 miles.
getting caught on the docks can knock me down to 400-450 depending on how much of the 14 hour clock they eat up. -
maybe i should refrase the question for an owner operator did you save any money going from 65mph to 63 mph or is there a major savings going from say 8.8 miles per gallon to say 8.0 or 8.3 mpg

I put this up in another thread.
Gives someone an idea how they can run and what they might have to do if they run hard enough to force a reset.
I am learning I like to force myself into a reset. Running 8-9 hours a day continuously burns me out faster it seems. -
You clearly haven't read any of my rants, ahhh, posts. Last year averaged less than 2000 miles a week. My O/O's do about that and net far more than when they ran 3000 miles in a dead end mileage lease.
You have been taught miles = money by people who make huge profits off you blindly following this lesson.grizzly, last 1 and aktundratugger Thank this. -
For every change there is a cost. You are trading time for fuel. -
Obviously loads that pay more you make more with less miles. Im a local O.O and I run less than 1300 miles a week, plus never ever lease a truck from a company, thats just bankruptcy.
