    Tell that to my graph on crossroads (and my dbl) :biggrin_25511: I somehow have 23% overspeed when I'm on cruise 80 percent of the time. I NEVER put my foot on the accelerator over 60, so shouldn't my overspeed be 0?

    20% not on cruise is enough to increase your over speed.

    Isn't overspeed supposed to be calculated as anything over 60? That 20% is all way under 60mph though, basically anytime I'm going through a town, at a shipper/consingee, truck stop, etc. Anytime I'm doing anything over 55mph the cruise goes on. I can't imagine I would be getting overspeed while shifting from 4th to 5th for example.
    It sounds simple, but it can get confusing when two people in operations will tell you two different things.

    How does overspeed get that high? Mine is at 0.024 and has always been extremely low. Wish I could say the same for OOR (3.580).

    I noticed that you stated escort account. Does this have anything to do with what DFO stated about the lot lizards knocking on your door. Already have a escort account set for them. Just kidding I assume you meant escrow account.

    My overspeed in August went all the way up to 0.08. I know exactly why, too...had my foot in it as often as possible on the trip that Support Shaft really shafted me on my "guaranteed" home time. I almost always use cruise, because I am entirely too lazy to use my foot...lol
