I run for Yanke in Saskatoon. They turn us all down to 57MPH including o/o's We loose a few miles but make it up in fuel savings. From 62 down to 57 gives us an added 4/10 of a MPG. I also remember the days running single Victoria to Halifax in 4.5 days, no sleep, crappy food, poor equipment. Now I get regular sleep, safer conditions and more money in my pocket.
Which companies are still running 70+?

I wonder if they are compensating Dick Feller, and Jerry Reed for their song rights? -
Our trucks used to run 70Mph. New law in Ontario Canada forced all trucks going through the province down to 62Mph.

Guess these guys wouldn't have been too happy during the mid 70's when the national speed limit was 55 and a ton of companies had their trucks governed at 53. Can you say "slow go"?
Big Don Thanks this. -

Killroy I see you haul tankers. Do you have any info on dana or superior. I had my own truck in the past but think I will hire on as a co driver to start then maybe get a truck once again. I have been working local but it has been slow. I have been told by a few o/o that they clear. $2 to 4000 a week after expenses do you have any input on that number?
