    Don't care on fuel mileage .. using company rig. And yes I'm taking care of it as my own. All expenses paid by Boss

    I own my own truck and I routinely drive at 60 because it's less stress. But, that's me.

    How are you making that much driving OTR? I'm in the oil patch in ND and that is on the high end for a regular company driver right now
