You must be a driver who has a future with the company. Would like to say that the trucks only do 64, when the cruise is off and 62, when using the cruise. And this is enough to make a difference to your daily average outside a 55 state. Still gonna have to put up with the reputation anyway.

proof that what works for one not always works for everyone else. glad they are happy with whoever they work for and that is all that matters.
