    Mav claims to give you plenty of time to do a run. "You will run legal" and "you will log what you do at Maverick".... lol. 2 common phrases that you will here throughout your first few days at orientation.

    I even think they specifically said Mav does not take loads that must have a definite delivery time.

    Speaking of the stats, Mav did an internal stat check on those that avg 55 and those drivers that average 65 mph and they realized that those company drivers that ran 65 didn't get any more loads or miles than those without it.

    My trainer (BTC) floors the pedal, to get it over the 65 mph governor. He seems to avg 6.3 to 6.7 mpg according to qualcomm. He does use cruise control sometimes. One thing, once he stops, he shuts down his truck immediately. So he always has near ZERO idle time.

    Both. Diesel is actually a bit higher than gasoline here now, first time I've ever seen that. :(
