Message:: [QUOTE="Emolson, post: 2794155, member: 92668"]I understand what ironpony is saying its all true and its a good advice to follow if you a L/O. I just think theres a way lease operator should work. You should work a little harder than a company driver but not a lot more because sometimes there are bad weeks where a company driver may make more than you in a week. I think instead of driving 50-55 I almost dont see the difference when you can drive 58-60. Your still saving gas but now the difference is your running a little more miles. It all add up at the end. 50-55 but higher mpg (less expenses on gas) and a little less miles. 58-60 less mpg but still good and also more miles (more miles just means more money). Im not saying to run at a more speed and to try and get more miles, but should try to keep it balence in between. Through city highways I run at 50mph, and on interstate highways 65-70. But I wouldent recommend to run like that if you are a lease operator.[/QUOTE]
