<p>[QUOTE="Bret1984, post: 11950952, member: 297040"]Oh no doubt speed is not going to do much to compensate for poor planning or failing to keep the left door closed. I've just noticed that I am able to run more miles in a faster truck. I have done OTR before with a couple different companies so I've experienced both the 62mph truck and the wide open truck. Both with e-logs. In the 62mph truck I was able to get over 600mi a day pretty consistently while in the wide open truck I always get well over 600mi occasionally breaking the 700mi mark for the day. Paid by the mile that definitely adds up over the course of a week and over a month it definitely adds up. Of course there's always variations like appointment times, loading times, traffic, weather, etc, etc but all those things happen to both trucks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
