if i can get in a faster truck, one that does 75+ i will top that mileage, was supposed to be getting a different truck today, got all the way to colorado with a load, and get a call, sorry its not ready yet, bugger, stuck at 70 for another week, 5 mph doesn't sound much, but if you do a full 11 our day at 5mph faster (and it is possable over here) thats 55 mins, or basicly another 70 miles or an hours work, the biggest problem over here, is that places to load and unload don't stay open long enough, in general places open 7 or 8 am, but close from about 3 or 4pm, doesn't give you a big window, and with the slower truck it pisses you off when your 5 or 10 mins after they gone, when the faster truck would have got you unloaded, another driver on my facebook posted that he had done 15000+ this month, lets see if i can't top 16000 miles in a month
