    they could govern my truck down to 5 mph, But..... I want at least 4.50 per mile company pay. They could nut me down to 10 mph but..... I want at least 2.14 per mile and if they govern it down to 65 then the pay needs to be .40 per mile. at 75 mph I'll settle for .35 mph. as long as I can do the miles needed in my 70 hour work week! I know that I need to make X number of dollars, as long as I make that, speed is not the factor.

    I wish I could afford to have my truck set for 58 mph. I'd be raking in the lettuce for sure.

    Just like the good ol' days when I started to drive.

    Cause you don't own the truck, make the payment, and pay for fuel. If you want a ungovern truck go buy yourself a truck and run on your own authority. Simple as that.
