    omg; u are delusional. the way u say u drive, yes u are an accident waiting to happen; also fyi, if the insurance agent pulls up beside u or follows u & sees that the truck is running 75 with a load of gas on, i can assure u, he will contact ur boss & ask him why U are driving that fast with a highly combustible liquid. no reason ur boss can or will give will justify ur actions on that; @ which time the agent will tell him either cut the truck back or we'll drop ur driver, ur choice. what do u think ur boss will do? to save his own a s s & keep his insurance; he will do both. ur getting free advice here from all of us, heed to it, use it; sooner or later it will cost U

    U really don't think our insurance know we go 75? Companies been around a long time and all of our drivers go the speed limit, not just me. And all the other fuel companies here, with the exception of 2, also go the speed limit. Infact I've been passed by other fuel companies drivers while clicking along at 75

    You've got two years behind you and you're gonna tell people with 10 years plus how it is??? Diesel fuel costs a lot. The boss will start feeling that pinch. But that's neither here nor there. You are showing how much you don't know. The speed of your truck doesn't affect the amount of money you make.

    Well for all that experience, I would think you'd know that speed does affect how much u make , or at least how quickly u make it. Maybe not much in a day or week, but certainly over the course of months

    And no my company is most certainly not governing our trucks, at least not unless required by law, my company cares about the drivers, and customers getting loads on time, but mostly about drivers happy

    Going to bed, maybe we'll talk again tomorrow man

    Ever heard of CF( Consolidated Freight )? They had trucks that did 75, they made great money? That company was around for decades. The drivers never thought they would go out of biz. Untill one day they came to work and the gates were padlocked.

    Don't be to sure of yourself on your job.
