I have had several cdl jobs and I have yet to find one that I can drive the speed limit and keep the boss and my wallet happy. I would love to find one but I have bills to pay and I like this job for the most part.

Where I drive a matter of minutes means breezing through a normally congested area and sitting in traffic for 20+ minutes at a clip. I have two loads to do a day and I normally use 12-14 hours to do them. If I did the speed limit I would be over hours most of the time. I'm also the guy finding detours around traffic which has saved me more time than anything. And I also resent the statement that people that speed are idiots anyway. I speed and I'll tell you that I am far from an idiot. But I have a job to do and I will not be late for my appointment. And leaving earlier is not an option, I have set times I can deliver for both of my loads and if I chew up hours by leaving earlier and sitting then I am screwed for my second load. 72 in a 65. WOW. What a lawbreaker. :lol: 7 over the limit is practically nothing in most states unless they are having a crackdown. Otherwise,you can get away with 10 over for the most part.

By the way, nice sig line:
Running with the hammer down really don't do you any good if you end up with the rubber side up.

When I come into a city when the traffic is real heavy, and I know I have to make a left turn: I drive in the left lane. I'd rather already be there than have to try to change lanes in all that craziness. As long as I'm moving at a decent speed(speed limit or slightly under) I don't see a problem.

I could care less if you pass me. I'm getting paid by the hour, no matter how long I take to get the loads done. Granted, I need to get the job done in a timely manner but If you want to pass me, please, by all means, be my guest. As for me, I'm going to drive safe, not fast.

The line in my sig refers to the garbage haulers around here that flip over on I80 in delaware water gap at least once every six months. People that drive 7-10 over the speed limit are not running with the hammer down in my opinion.
