    It is though most cruise at 56-58 because either their dispatchers require them to or just to maximize fuel bonus. This summer I was collecting $120/week like clockwork as a company guy in fuel bonus. Then again my dispatcher required 56-58 and if she caught you logging too much time above 60 and you refused to slow down she'd have your truck governed at 58. But I didn't care I made 68 grand in 2014 rollin around at 58 I was happy.

    At 58 from Virginia to South Carolina, I was getting 11.4mpg! It was all flat though.

    Yep prime's specs on an evolution rolling at those speeds and the fuel mileage gets so good that most reading that probably don't believe it. Only bad thing is since you fuel less you gotta buy some showers I can't deal with smelling like a hobo.

    Having showers on site at the yard is one of the better perks of being on a dedicated account.

    Casanova, go into terminal and get one of the fuel desk clerks to help you. Phone number should show your application.
