[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 1191898, member: 6408"] Here, again, I say HERE, mileage tractors are turned to 72. I never did but knew that it would go there. Yes, you get paid the same, fast or slow but company reasons that they are "hot" loads and you, yes, YOU are gonna fudge. No, mechanics can't arbitrarily turn up any tractor that a driver wants. We found that out when new ones were delivered and assigned to mileage. One time I had one set at 65 when limit was 75 in state. I didn't care. It was a nice, easy stroll across the state. Time lost? (if you want to call it that). About 20 min each way. Big deal. What do I have to do when I go home? Nuttin. Other drivers would scream, I mean, literally go upstairs and SCREAM to have it turned up. We found out it has to be approved by corporate auto first and in some cases (you're gonna find this hard to believe) took almost 4 months. Mechanics need to enter their own personal code into tractor to turn up and that code is "remembered" and can be traced. So, no, no one wants to do it until authorized to. Being ordered to drive a certain speed? Like others have said, you are in control of this vehicle when you are behind the wheel. Only YOU can determine what is safe and what is not. Don't let them intimidate you to do something you don't feel safe doing. [/QUOTE]
