Who's the smart*** that's gonna get fired? This guy!

Slowly. Well. At 60
I don't really drive it. I make steering adjustments as it figures out the rest. I'm a professional steering wheel holder that sometimes has to back up and push a pedal.

But what to do? Gotta get experience somewhere and I know nothing of trucking, so...

 

Honestly, I don't terribly mind the speed. It doesn't feel too dangerous most of the time. There are certain places where I feel like a turtle that's about to get roflstomped to death. But majority of interstates you'll have plenty of trucks going 60-63 so it evens out. Personally, I'd love to go 65. Would be an excellent speed to not impede traffic so much and also not be stressing out about the *** in front of me not getting over since I can go way faster.

 

Problem with a huge carrier like sni and all others is that they hire in bulk. Since each individual driver can't be really monitored (and if they can, who's watching the watchers?) it's much less risky to turn down everyone. In 10 new hires 1 is going to hit ####. If sni limits speed and puts all those sensors they can keep turning the wheel of fresh meat and tax incentives without investing more in the training program. And it looks great to their investors since trucks hitting #### costs them money.

Edit: I write sni here but I apply this to all companies that thrive by pumping new drivers until they quit since it's more profitable to train new and replace than it is to retain quality

 

Shh, you're making too much sense in a sni forum, that might be a bannable offense.

In all seriousness though, I know. I've ran the numbers and the way I see it each 1mph is at least equal to 1cpm if not more. But like I said, new and no experience. Me and sni both profit here. I just hope I'm smart enough to notice when the scale tips way more in their favor than I'm comfortable with.

 

I gotta watch out though. If I keep this talk up, the title of this thread might become reality
