Why do YOU speed....if this is all you save?

I'm not missing a point. When the speed limit is 75, I roll 75. And you roll what? 62?

When the speed limit is 70, I roll 70. And you roll what? 62?

When the speed limit is 65, I roll 65. And you roll what? 62?

When the speed limit is 60, I roll 60. And you roll what? 62?

When the speed limit is 55, I roll 55. And you roll what? 62?

When the speed limit is 15 in a school zone, I roll 15. And you roll what? 62?

 

75X10= 750
62X10= 620
____________
130 difference over 10 hours.

You don't know how I drive. I'm just pointing out basic math. The formula you linked was probably written by someone with an agenda.

 

Why have you got a burr up your butt? You started out with insulting references to "mister supertrucker" for anyone that happens to want to run 75 in a 75 MPH state. I just said your math was wrong, and you liked 62. which must mean you drive for Swift or Schneider, and like it, What about that has you in a hissy fit.

 

I drive 59 mph just about all the time on the interstate no matter what the speed limit is in my 72 mph governed truck. driving 59 I get about 6.5 miles per gallon and 72 I get about 5.3 miles per gallon. Most guys at my company do the 72.

3500 miles a week is about what I get when I work the full week.

3500 divided by 5.3 is 660 gallons
3500 divided by 6.5 is 538 gallons

122 gallons less fuel for the week is about 374.00 so I make about that more per week on my check driving the same amount of miles. Yes it takes more time but I don't care.

 

I don't get paid by the mile. I get paid percentage. So your math is irrelevent to me about 50 million other driver's

 

Information is one thing, Your additude is another. Starting out with insults is not a way to get people to look at your figures correctly.

With the last truck I owned I had the cost per mile down to the hundreths of a cent. I knew exactly what it cost to run at 63, 65 70, 75. How many trucks have you owned?

As I stated, you know nothing about me. I don't go around insulting people, or using "cute" deragatory names, unlike you have with me and others here. Maybe you should mature a bit.

 

why would you drive a slow truck id fall asleep some of the elite drivers out here can drive flat out all the time but know what we are doing we are professionals can we help it if we picked up a few things on the way!
