As a company driver, getting paid the mile, I'd drive the speed limit.
However, as an owner operator, I balance pickup and delivery appointments with the need to save on fuel costs. I drive only as fast as needed to get the load there on time. It's saved me about $1300-$1500 a month in fuel—about half my truck payment.
What if it Snows?

Well rats can only go so far per day.
I spend the majority of my time on roads marked maximum 60 kms/hr up to 100 kms/hr, that is about 37 MPH to 62 MPH, we don't have those high speed interstate roads. And police patrol it regularly.
In winter its icy, and in summer the tourists drive slow. So big miles just don't happen. On Wednesday my trainee and I did 807 kms (501 miles) but we were preloaded, and just dropped off a processor, and loaded up a skidder at the same location, turned around and left. I drove for 2 hours on the way back so she had less driving hours and could make it home.Cattleman84, D.Tibbitt, lovesthedrive and 3 others Thank this. -
The manufacture of the iPhone. The manufacture of iPhone mostly takes place in East and Southeast Asia, where the labor force is cheap and abundant. China, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia are the main countries that bear those characteristics and participate in the manufacture of iPhone.
