UPS has it's eye on you guys
UPS, DHL, Fed Ex, all would be a step up for us linehaul drivers!!
I'll take a slower truck for a higher milage pay.Sorry, the speed reduction alone would drive me nuts..................

If you were maxing your hrs that might be true, but let's compare real world conditions.I dunno, to me it kinda evens out.
Say two guys have the same run, and one guy make a dime more a mile but, his truck is 10mph slower. When you break it down to an dollar per hour basis it's about even. I'll take the lower pay for less time in the seat.
Plus, it's kinda fun to wave at Saia, Old Dom, Ups Freight, Estes, and Watkins as I blow by, knowing that they left before I did and I'll beat them back home.....:tongue0015:

I'm not sure of your truck speeds but I would guess around 72, most FXF will do 66-67, so your looking at a 5 mph difference. Going from STL to say KCY in a FXF truck on a run that pays 244 miles one way is logged at 3.75 hrs you would get there roughly 17 mins earlier or 3.5 hrs.
Not that big of a difference in time, question is what is the difference in pay??
