It depends on what the speed limit is and in what part of the country you are in. I have been inspected and have never gotten a ticket or warning for logging 75mph in a 75 zone or 70mph in a 70 zone. I don;t see why anyone should be forced to log the minimum speed limit :lol: . I have heard of drivers refusing loads claimimg it wasn't legal because they couldn't log 45mph going thru UT and WY and therefore couldn't drive 550 miles in 11hours in the summer. :lol:

I use 50mph and I also give myself a overall picture and then I'll divide #miles by 55mph and then #miles by 60mph. and the same for 65mph. I do that to account for various road conditions...road construction/traffic/traveling up hills etc.
