I contract out my heavy hauling by the hour, I would love an even higher speed limit!
Our log trucks have scales built into the frames so we load to the maximum for every trip. If a truck leaves our site lite I know immediately and take the appropriate actions.
The most efficient of our contractors get 4.7 to 4.9 miles to the gallon, the guys burning 4.7 turn more loads and can almost increase their daily rate by a 3rd.
