1,000 miles per day on E-logs

Using your logic a truck traveling 60 MPH could travel 660 miles in 11 hours.BS...LOL....You can't use regular math to calculate such problems or there would be no need for such things as algebra,trigonometry and geometry.I do run 75 MPH every day and some days I make 650-675 in 11 but no way could I every make 825 in 11 hours...LOL.

 

Some experienced drivers know. They're the ones with 400 yards of following distance.

If you think you can predict what unpredictable motorists are going to do next, I think you're delusional. Guessing right doesn't make you clairvoyant.

Who's supposed to care about that???

Right. You're concerned with how people who know less than nothing about "driving" because everything they think they know is wrong think of your driving.

Right. The ol' "I've been getting away with it x years!" Next comes "That's the first time THAT ever happened!"

Ah. Trust in providence! That's pretty professional.

False cause fallacy. No one is forced to change lanes, period, much less "unsafely". The only reason someone has to brake for slower traffic is poor management of momentum. Lifting off the throttle before braking is required eliminates the need for braking.

A "professional" driver considers having to brake on a highway as evidence of their own "mistake". They allowed themselves to become the proverbial "100 kt. pilot in a 200 kt. airplane"; their attention fell behind their momentum.

But, you have tripped over another widely believed myth: "I should never have to decrease velocity."

Ah. The ol' "Driving slower isn't sufficient to command my attention. I need more hazardous conditions or I get bored".

If truck driving was easy, everyone would be good at it.

 

A mind has to be willing to change. These aren't "my" views, and I resisted them same as you, until I let my mind change, influenced by having my every perspective soundly refuted, same as you, 'cept different.

 

i drive fast because i get bored...and because i can.plus this pete doesnt get any fuel mpg anyway no matter how i drive it

 

I have $10,000 that says I can get better mileage out of it. Still got my CDL and a valid physical...

 

I ran a 379 with an old mechanical 3406b for years smoked like a chimney all the time was running Midwest to West coast 750-850 miles a day 70-72 on the freeway 65 on the two lane averaged 7.8 mpg it's not all about how fast you go. It's got allot to do with how you climb and descend hills, take off from lights and how often you stop.

Sadly I went from that truck to a '09 built glider with a 3406e and gained almost zero.
