By your math, you are using "Nautical miles". "Air miles", as used here, means "Statute (5280-foot) miles". Picture driving in a straight line...
Just kind of nitpicking here, but... It's not ".36cpm". That would be less than a penny per mile. Should be "$.36 per mile" or "36cpm" or "36¢...
We would put a rubber band over the two points, so the recorded speed would show less space between the points, therefore a slower speed. I think...
Beautiful. Thank you.

You had to quit to get your profit-sharing money? How does that work? Could a driver just borrow against it, like a 401(k)? It just seems like...
I drove as a "casual" for Knight about five years ago, and hauled gasoline as a casual in Southern California for many years. Did some reefer and...
