    To slow? What speed should someone with 6 months experience be able to go?

    Yea, I won't go for my own truck until I have money saved for emergency. I have $10k set aside now as well as a bit over $1k in my emergency fund at Prime. I won't run my own truck until I have at min $10k set aside for repair costs.

    I'm not planning to get a truck for another 6 months.

    They are 58 mph on the pedal and 62 on cruise.. that's too slow to be paid by the mile.. and unsafe to be on roads where trucks are coming up behind you doing 70mph or more..

    65 and 65.. The 62 on the company truck isn't the issue its the 58..

    As a side note, those of you that hate leases so much, why are you posting in this section If you don't like leases?

    Right on man, not a huge difference in speed. I like humor so I read through a lot of threads. I'm not a fan of leases but if that's what you want to do more power to you. Good luck man.

    String 40 more weeks like that and you will be slightly above average.
