    Day 34 straight. Found out what my cpm was today. Not as advertised. Found out the other day that my truck isn't governed at 68. Is there a 4th tier of training that I don't know about?

    Is it more
    Is it more or less than 68?. I found that some trucks won't do 68 (checked with gps) while others will do 68 or even 69.

    Comparing it to a GPS calculation of speed is a good idea as well as those darn "you speed is" signs in construction sites.

    I've done both. Truck says 68, while gps and construction 'your speed is' say 66 to 67.

    Some speedos will read higher than actual speed. I know the volvo I was in was like that. The freightliner Im in now is very accurate, shows exactly what the gps and tattle-tale construction zone radar says.

    Can anyone fully decipher the settlement sheet? About all that makes sense is "units" being miles we are paid for and the usual gubmint witholdings.

    There is a negative value labelled "perdiem" but I was told we weren't paid perdiem. Also an advance when I have never actually had an advance.

    I stayed at the la q twice in between trainers and one of the times the clerk took a copy of my efs card. Does that mean the room was charged to it/me?
