    When a company doesn't trust you to go over 63 mph , it showes no confidence. And don't tell me its all about fuel mileage. I get the same , mileage except I don't block the highways

    From what i have learned as relates to this thread, its not about mileage, its about safety, the mileage is just more money in your pocket, bonus.

    I sincerely doubt you're getting the same mileage. You run 70 all day long if you want, in the end, your costs will be exponentially higher, in fuel and maintenance.

    It's a money thing. Insurance, fuel, safety; it all comes down to money. Period.

    It's about the fuel bill. They turn down the company guys more if they can't hit the minimum fuel economy number.

    To J.B. or I.P. as i have said to J.B, i"m 20+ years removed from the biz. and looking to get rolling again, seen this referenced to all over the place, what is a DAC report?, sounds like it"s something all you guys worry about, there was another anagram i wanted to ask about but forgot the initials, maybe you know.

    Basically an MVR that is CMV specific. Notes accidents, inspections, shutdowns, etc.

    Kind of a baseball card for drivers.

    A guy started a thread(back in June i think) about the W.I.A grants, there was a lot of negativity that chimed in, and it went silent,as i am looking into going the same route, i posted on it and he responded, was surprise"d, after all that time, but silent again, said it was important that a school had certs, so i checked the school i had filled out app.to, and they are (these were the initials could"t rem.) a.c.c.s.c. & p.t.d.i., is it rely that important?
