    One nice thing about tanker… I’m usually either empty, or full of 45,000 lbs. and no need to worry about weight! As long as they don’t load me over 46,500 lbs I’m good.

    Alex, Google Maps is calculating the distance/hour according to speed limits. Your truck can not make all the time max speed on your highways, that's why you have a deviation in time.
