    That is truly awesome TruckerPete.... Now, imagine what you would get if you went 65, 62, or 58...better yet, try it! Test the speed/fuel mileage for 30 days Than move on down the line..lol For another 30 days...

    Not my truck not my fuel money. Plus our loads are tight anyway so 60 would kill us.

    It's so funny how when like me use to be company driver for so many years at 65MPH etc.... and now becoming O/O How I have to change my attitude on speed and think as a business man and NOT a driver. Guess all depends that person and how happy they are making what they make.

    Yes, they're probably a good bet. I think they want 6 months or more experience. They advertise average of 58k + gross income per year.

    They cut us from 70 to 65, so now we stop less, and take the pay raises they hand out every year from the better operating ratio they achieve.

    My favorite game is " count the amount of times the faster trucks pass you in one shift".
