Habits You Developed to Ensure Safety and Preservation of Your License

So you run the piss out of the engine because you can not maintain your speed? You might want to find another way so your engine will live longer. The object is to get to you speed with the lowest RPM's. Doesn't your company have a fuel program?

 

I just drive like I've got some sense and respect the truck and always stay ahead of it and the situation around me at all times so I'm not reacting to things that happen but rather anticipating and ready for them. 8 times out of 10 if someone is going to do something stupid around you you can tell before they do said stupid act. Be ready. The unexpected out of the blue thing that happens that you have no choice but react evasively to happens but is rare.

The things like speed management and not tearing things up are the easiest of all that we have to deal with out here with regard to 'protecting the license'

No accidents, incidents, tickets or violations and 0 csa points in 39 months now bears out this is a good strategy that works.

 

You are why fleets are switching to automated transmissions...

 

I also try to keep the rpm's as high as humanly possible because i am too simple minded to keep control of my truck alone. i always say let the truck control me.

On a more serious note maintaining a safe speed is about the easiest thing i do all day and i think this is one of the dumbest posts i have seen on here in a while, especially considering it mentioned safety in the title.

 

So when you gonna buy your own truck so ya can make them big bucks? Find a company that will let you run whatever speed you want and then you can really rack up them miles!

 

buy your own fuel then see how you feel about running low gear high speed high rpm....
