    I'll do it too. Cut the pay with a dollar truck no problem. Easy enough to extradite myself from the herd of 62 mph'ers

    Make that 85 plus until the momentum wears off after hitting the bottom at 120 plus.

    My truck will run 80. I make much more money at 60. I run 60 but log 80. While your pumping fuel, I am headed to the bank.


    On the other hand, if "Speed Kills", Atlanta would be a ghost town.

    You don't have to run with the pack at 62. It's called a brake pedal. Let the pack leave you.

    Tell you what, I have a couple of trucks. One of them being a petercar. Wide open. You come over to me, I will take you on as a 1099 independent contractor and pay you 15cpm. You won't have to team and your still wide open.
