    If you are referring to the company truck ..it was Governed at 60mph. But I average 7.01 (last 71,000 miles) on my Long Nose Non-Aerodynamic Pete with 22% idle time ... My average speed is 65mph and cruise control when I can.

    Thats true, but if you set your set, your pta properly and know how to utilize your hours you sit less. I received a bonus last month for driving 12019 paid miles. Drove everyday.
