Bone up on DOT regs. We're talking a difference of a 650 mile workday as opposed to maybe 500 or so, traffic permitting.
...and we're usually paid by the mile. The percentage was merely a ballpark guess, but when you count time wasted looking for parking at the end of a legal shift, the reduced flexibility in planning a route... thus more often having less choice in what time to traverse busy metropolitan areas and their traffic... now I don't expect the average 4 wheeler to "get it", but I'll at least try.
Yeah, one could always cheat on the logbooks, but not all of us do that.
