Our trucks have been turned down to...

well if you rember about two years ago they were trying to get all trucks turned down through congress looks like they are getting there wish

 

KLLM trucks down from 65 to 62 as well, almost 75% done. So now i went from no Bonus, about $5000/yr, to I can no longer drive (log) more than 640 or so miles a day which is aproxx $5000/yr I can not earn in miles plus slower to get empty which means from time to time I will not get my layover pay or detention if quallify. The way I see it, i just took a $10K a year pay cut and will have to work longer and slower.

 

Lets all except the fact we all will be in the Granny lane. I'm really not upset about it, I'm still making more money since I joined Crete.. I started at .42 cpm and I have heard they now start at .36 to .39 . ?
Pay cut? DRIVE SAFE

 

Not sure what kind of math you're using to get that, but my numbers say that's way off.
11*65*0.3=214.50
11*62*0.3=204.60
That's $9.90/day, theoretically.

 

I think May came down from 65 to the current 62.

And - probably in the wrong place to post this, and it's very definitely hearsay: I heard (oh lord, here we go) that if the Democrats attain the Oval Office, they'll mandate a 55MPH nationwide limit. Again.

so, if that is true - 62, 75, 105 won't matter a whit.

 

Us Concrete our Mixers are 55mph and the Rock/sand/ tankers are 60 O god were slower than even what Swift use to be LOL..

 

The republicans did it in 1973. There has been talk of it already and the democrats are not in the white house.

Yeah - I know - to both. The 'again' was not meant to imply the Dems did it the first time, just that the limit might be mandated again.

Either way, it hasn't happened yet.
