...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.

I'm not criticizing, just asking.
But in terms of cheating on the books... It sounds like you are making a personal choice as to which law/regulation you are going to break (logbook versus posted speed) but are assuming that one of them must be broken. Translating that elsewhere in the world, that is like me (I work in a highly regulated profession) saying that if I take a particular shortcut, which is illegal, I can increase my pay by 15%. That's a very tempting option for the self-employed... I'm just not sure that it is the right one.
