why do drivers stand for governed trucks?

where do u come up with $5/hour

 

.47 what? is it cpm or what?

 

also, take into account ur hauling fuel; not all of us haul fuel. u can say what u want but 1 day sooner or later ur boss is going to come to work 1 day & say cut the trucks back to 65mph. insurance company threatened to drop me if i don't cut them back; then what u gonna do?

 

remember the party always ends, it doesn't last forever

 

I'm not out to save my company money, I love working here, I get paid extremely well, their trucks, their policies. Simple as that.

You wanna say that's $5/hour. So what. Anything adds up when you add it up over long periods of time. Like the people saying you'll save $500/year on insurance by switching to them or you'll make more money by driving faster. I say, what's your point?

No one forces you to work for a company with governed trucks, only the person can choose to.

Its not all about Money. I'm happy as long as I can make $600/week. That covers all my bills plus gives me some play around money. I'm not out here to make as many miles as I can. I drove 2600 miles last week, made $1200. If you say "well you could have ran more ungoverned", guess what? 2600 was fine for me, I don't wanna burn myself out.

I drive because its what I love to do, its my lifestyle I chose. I don't wanna be the guy running a full 11 hours then 10 off and a full 11 back on. I drive 60, that's all I need. I sit back, relax, and enjoy getting paid for what I love to do.

There is nothing wrong with driving a governed truck. I believe that mainly depends on what your hauling and the company you work for.

I love working here, I love my 61/65 governed 13 letter turd spreader.

I drive a goverend truck because I like being a company driver. I will make $90k+ this year I don't think my truck being governed has hurt my pay. Oh and I am home 48+ hours every week too. Cpm, benefits stability all rank higher in my book than a 70- mph truck.I If I owned my own I would probably run 57-62 mph for fuel.
