It will take me longer, 15 hours, but I only spend $585.70 on fuel so my gross profit is $486.8 divided by 15 = $32.45 per hour. Granted I will have a ten hour sleep period, but when I wake up and hit the road it will be at $32.45 an hour and you will still be getting $22.50.Ummm, no. First off, nobody is doing an 825 mile run in 11 hours, because they would have to average 75 mph to accomplish it. The 75 mph guy is going to be averaging 70 mph at best (assuming he's not going through any major towns or hitting any traffic jams), so he can do the run in 12 hours, plus his 10 hour break = 22 hours, for a grand total of $11.25 per hour for the entire run. By the same light, the 55 mph guy is going to average 50 mph at best, so it will take him 16.5 hours to complete the run, plus a 10 hour break = 26.5 hours, so he will earn $18.37 an hour for his effort. He will also burn up over half his hours on that second day completing the run, bettering his chances that he'll be sitting a second night, which would bring his hourly pay down to $13.33 an hour or less. Plus, this is assuming that the difference between 55 mph and 75 mph is 2 mpg. Just because Kenworth claims it in their sales materials doesn't make it so. In either case, both the 55 mph guy and the 75 mph guy are both moe-rons for taking the load in the first place.
