    Cool, now show us your fuel breakdown Mr. 68. I'd love to see that ATBS statement that shows us what percentage of your revenue is going out the window.

    That seems like quite a bit to me, and is certainly nothing to sneeze at, IMO.

    I spoke to a few drivers while getting interviewed.They work hard no doubt about that.I applied for a residential driver.You have 75 stops a day and must know all the addresses within 3 days.

    WM doesn't want you emptying your piss bottles and throwing your trash in parking lot. Stay at a truck stop

    Lets do some arithmetic. Lets say I cut back to 62mph. At 68 I can run about 400 more miles per week than I can at 62. That equates to 456$ in revenue. You think I'm burning an extra 456$ in fuel per week running 68? No I'm burning about 150$ extra. Running slow only pays if dispatch is going to have you sitting. Running my 70 out as fast as I do it pays to go fast.
