1,000 miles per day on E-logs

Im sure the Yay government regulation/deal with it flag wavers will chime in but I am personally dreading this and hope it doesnt happen.

 

Haha it'll be like the 80s again! I'll be out in the left lane cause you can't speed limit a mechanical engine.

 

You forgot your mandatory half hour break for milk and cookies and nap time!

 

If it happens I'm done, I'm not letting some desk jocky tell me what I can and can't do with MY truck..

 

I'm quitting cigarettes as soon as they go to $1.00 a pack too

 

I'll get that mechanical 379 I rode in as a kid. 2100 rpm screaming past the 62 mph trucks. He he he

 

Yes, but the good news is you'll burn up your 70 in about 5 days, then, the 64 MPH trucks will be blowing by you and laughing.

This is a prime example of why the dedicated lane and "home weekly" crowd, and the rest have two completely different views on speed.

 

It's no secret more miles per hour means more money for most, the owner-operators are probably more in tune with this notion then drivers for a large carrier who are focused on MPG, as opposed to the others who are focused on revenue miles that can be realized, and can the additional revenue (or not being late) mean more money then the realized fuel savings of driving slower and fewer overall revenue miles?
