Default mileage calculations

just in case some of you folks may not know... if ya go to truckstop.com you go to mileage calculations option & put in any starting point & any destination & it will give you the route, the time it should legally take to get there, & it will always & only route roads that are legal for any truck to be on. no restricted roads. it breaks down the adusted speed of all the speed limits in all the states as well as the 2 ln & 4 ln roads. it's also great for logs. cause it will tell you how long it was supposed to take you to get from point a to point b legally..lol. anyway this sight is free.

That is the same one that is on the OOIDA site.

Where do they get those times from?? What speed limit are they using for an average??

I cross referenced it with my GPS, and the mileage is short, and the times are way too fast.
