You guys also forgot to mention that he needs to be sure that he runs 72 at all times, especially in work zones and when cresting hills and blind curves (you know, to maximize those previous minutes during the day ((also, note the sarcasm here, safety always comes first))

I'm curious as to who runs 72mph trucks unless you're only running Texas and southwest states.

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.

I needed a good laugh this morning and ya'll sure gave me one. Thank you. I feel much better about my own limited skills. Old school you did make me hungry though. I will be driving through Fresno tomorrow so the tip is helpful. lol. Just because the governor is set that high should never change your trip planning. Mine is set at 75, but that never changes the basics.

Have to call BS on that

Do you remember what it was like to roll at 65? Sh!!!!t, I'm at 66 and roll over more than I get passed. At 75 I could see the world.

Most definitely would change my planning. You do realize in a 10 hour day your a hour and a half ahead if most drivers.

Pffffffft......... Easy to say when your on top
