    Ahhh never mind I am sure I couldn't afford it anyway! The wife only gives me 80.00 bucks a week anyway and I gotta eat off of that!

    i think the wife would have a little more to give you than 80 bucks when you got ready to go out the week after she found out, thinking of the number 44

    as far as the speed limit goes, there is no way you can legaly average the speed limit over 600 miles unless you are out in the boonies on flat road in tx or az because you will get slowed down some where. IF i was to falsify my logs id log no more than 5 miles UNDER the FASTEST speed i could go wheather 55 in ohio or 64 out west in a governed truck. but i work for sni and they watch the qualcom like a hawk.

    I try to do just that. I hate a trashed up dash.

    BUT, it's never led to an inspection if it wasn't clean.

    I generally pick a number between 670 & 700 and go with that for my days driving...Stop and log 11. Sometimes I'm off by a bit either way. Not by much though.

    If I'm driving in heavy traffic, backroads, bad weather. I adjust accordingly.

    I've never been hit by the DOT for speeding, ever.
