    Hey @drivingmissdaisy , love the suggestion. We definitely see a need for this type of feature. I spoke with our developers and it is on the road map for the future to be included in the app.

    When planning at 50 mph, you can just double the milage to get the drive hours. 500 X 2 = 1000 or ten hours.

    Yep. It's just easier for me to move the decimal 2 to the left before doubling.

    I try to plan at a 35 mph speed. And add 20% for ground over trip pay miles. The result is usually early arrivals. Usually. Now there is a time or two like that one day above crashville (Nashville on the Louisville Highway) we had a fatal and lost 6 hours sitting still moving one mile to the exit running through the woods off paper until we found a stop to settle. One of those little peaceful nooks you can stuff a semi into and sleep well.

    Copilot had 4 different road speeds to set.

    55 for interstate.
    45 for primary
    35 for secondary.
    25 for neighborhood streets

    I don't remember the names exactly but ETA was pretty close to accurate.

    BTW. the app wants to update. It appears to be back in the store again. Android.

    @snowwy We will definitely take all this into consideration. It is on our road map in the future to allow drivers to set their own truck speed in the settings. So definitely in the works for a future update.
