I always run fog lights, tires, and chains. The lowest I get is 44, and that is pretty rare. Usually I get 49 or more.

I just can't let that one go. It doesn't even sound the same like their/there/they're or your/you're. It's have, not of.
I've seen in the 40's. I really don't care about the weather limits, driving to the conditions is for sissies.

I have seen 32, but the truck hauling weight was just on the border of being able to haul the weight, to not being able to haul any thing, therefore having to purchase a new truck.

Actually, I go 10 quite often. It happens all the time when I only have 10 miles left to go on a route.

I'm assuming you get better fuel economy the slower you go.
So would I be correct if in thinking you should always go exactly the speed required to get to the terminal when you only have one leg left.
So if I have 40 miles to go, and I drive there at 60mph, I might get 7mpg, but if I go exacltly 40mpg, I might get 7.5-8mpg. Is this correct?

If you only have 10 miles to go but put in 60 miles on your last leg it will use 60 miles worth of fuel and wear on your truck.
See
this thread for more info on mpg.
