Sorry I didn't go into detail about the truck use. I have a thread on the dodge forums where i go into it in much more detail.
Sadly I cannot yet post it!
Anyways, I live out in the country a bit, so I drive for like 4 minutes through my little town, and then it's a 15 minute hike at 55-60 mph, and then it's like a half-mile between lights most places I go from there. Also, Probably once every couple of months we travel a 3 hour trip to Michigan that is all Highway.
I would say my overall speed average is probably 40 mph. It's a 15 minute drive to like, go to the grocery store out here, lol.

As for "the jobsite", it varies... Sometimes it's an hour and a half drive, sometimes it's only 20. Right now, the shop is 15 minutes away and only 2 stops in that with all 55+ mph. The job I'm going to typically is 40 minutes away, and my average is probably 40 mph. I'm just taking average guesses at all this btw, as I don't actually record it or anything.
