why do drivers stand for governed trucks?

My uncle always told me "If you get into trucking, never forget this. You can drive millions of miles, but that don't mean your experienced."



But, more on topic. I will say this, I don't mind driving a governed truck, because its not how MANY miles you get paid for, its how MUCH your paid for those miles.

Id much rather run 2,000 miles/week at a higher rate than to run 3,000 miles at a lower one. I don't want to burn myself out on what I love. I love sitting back and listening to music, enjoying getting paid to see our country. Yeah I said it

driver i've driven with the cow crap covered boots already; i can name u where i got my start in hauling cows all the way to where i ended it.

if ur not a new guy like it shows u to be, then why put something like that? hmmnmnm

 

I'm not gonna argue with you...

 

There are still a few triple digit trucks around, but it is difficult to open them up with all the traffic and dot sitting around waiting to put another notch in their ticket book. With the points on CSA and your MVR it isn't worth the risk. About the only ones who still have the triple digit trucks are some of those pulling the bull wagons. My trucks are not governed and will bury the speedometer, but I don't do it. The extra cost for fuel and taking a chance of getting in an accident or a ticket can be costly.

 

if u call this arguing; man i feel bad for u; but since u can't obviously post anything about urself that's actual i guess u may as well have a good evening

 

that's part of it; i had my own hauling cattle in texas as well as in the upper midwest & hauling for eastern, & a few others; my truck was wide open @ first then i cut it back cause like u said risk of accidents plus fuel & not to mention i got a break on my insurance for cutting it back

 

Why? I don't need to prove anything to you...

 

it ain't got nothing to do with proving anything

 

Prove it!!

 

prove it huh? like jackie gleason once said IT AIN'T GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT; the facts are the facts; there are no more fast trucks on the road today except for the o/o & a vast majority of those are slowing down due to fuel

meaning companies that used to have trucks that would run, such as, tigator, bayou kritter, severt, grimes transportation, james gentry, burke trucking, c. l. woodworth, etc etc etc. those companies no longer run fast trucks anymore; they're all cut back like the large fleet trucks
