    My trk isn't governed and I don't drive for stevens either. I'm just saying y burn ur profit through the stacks. I can make the same amount of money as you running slower and less miles.

    Fozzy, computer needs attention. I can't use my email or IM. Kissry.

    Boy I must be tired, I can't even type my own name...Kissey.

    Fozzy, I think I got the computer fixed. I rebooted the server and went to the box in our room and unplugged/replugged that and I finally got my IM and email working. I guess I have picked up more than I realized watching you geeks. I have graduated from 'computer stupid' to 'I know just enough to be dangerous'. Later, Kissey.

    Actually the trucks are governed at 62 until you have 4 yearsin then they go to 64. One thing I can say is that they have no shortage of miles. We haven't waited 20 mins for a load assignment.

    Fozzy, that's great for your short load time. I remember never waiting for loads at
    truck stops. They had me moving all the time. Normally they already had the next pickup planned before I had a chance to unload. That made my preplanning easier.

    Fozzy,How soon you know the next destination? Before you unloaded? minutes after unloaded?

    Fozzy,How about going down mountains?
    The trainer made me go down hill at a Max speed of 25mph. He had to turnoff the CB radio because of all the Truckers Profanity for going down the mountain so slow. Stevens already had that reputation among truckers.That was part of Stevens training.
    Does this still happens?
    I always felt it was rough on the equipment to force the truck to go down so slowly, but Stevens was actually teaching safety.But than again if you stress the transmission and brakes, safety is thrown out the window.
