trucking companies that do not govern trucks or can at least do 70 mph

Still drive there?
How many miles a week?
Long haul or what?
Thanks... seriously considering then

 

Bless you guys...I’ve been beating my head against the wall job searching online....pfft.
how dumb do they think we are?
Anyway, this helps me out a great deal!

 

I drive for Test Drive Trucking. Trucks are set at 75. With a new International I average 6.5 miles per gallon. We run Texas, a little CO, into FL and the Carolinas.

 

can you share the name of that company?

 

Can you please share the name of that company?
Looking for a good company out of Texas who governs at 70 mph plus.

 

If only I could go faster I would make more money.

I went from a company where I go 68 mph on cruise to one where I can only go 62 on cruise. I went from 2800 miles per week to 2400. I make the same amount. The last company had me sitting in truckstops 12-14 hours a day and this one has me rolling after 10. It isn't how fast you drive or how long you're break that determines yours miles. Physics need not apply.

So if you went 75 mph, only sat 10 hours in a truck stop and went 3500 a week how much would you make?

Asking for a friend....

 

Or ran out of fingers...haha

 

Nope. Sarcasm.

MC VanKampen trucks governed @ 75 mph.

 

You are comparing 2 different companies at 2 different speeds. That doesnt really tell ya the story. All things being equal, a driver who can run a higher speed should make more money. But all other things must be equal. And when comparing 2 different companies with different mileage pay structures, all other things are not equal. And if being able to drive faster does not make you more money, it should, at least, allow you more time a day to sleep. Which has a proven safety benefit.

 

Which makes me wonder if guys like you are telling the truth or just blowing smoke. I lean heavily on the side of blowing smoke.
