    WOW! This whole thread is why I’m glad I’m paid hourly. I can set the cruise at 55 in an 80 zone all in The name of being a safe driver, all while slowly Inching my way to 20+ hours of overtime a week :cool:

    But seriously, because I’m paid hourly I set the cruise at the truck speed limit and just laugh at the guys doing 65+ because they need the miles or the .1 extra load per week to pay for whatever mechanical failure they had last week.

    I’m hourly too, but some of us want to get our work done and go home.
