Learning something is never free. -- The benefit is that no one can ever take away from you what you learn, it will always be there to benefit you.

You are in a company truck. there is no better place to be to learn how to become profitable with your own truck. you just have to start driving it and treating it like it is yours. Slowing down and managing time is one of the hardest things to learn, and while you are company driver, there is no benefit to it at all financially. That is how it costs you to learn. The practice of such a thing when your getting paid by the mile and have no expenses, simply costs you in miles and money vs holding the fuel pedal all the way down all day.

--- BUT the rewards are worth every bit of the effort when you can say you got your company truck up to 7+ and can keep it there,.. and you have slowed down to 63 or so on your deliveries because you manage time much better. -- You get to that point, and you are in the zone for making decent money with dry-van and/or reefer freight with no problems. -- Outside of that zone,.. and you are only fooling yourself and making excuses to satisfy your own ego and nothing more.
