Just noticed lately, if you buy a new truck, run 1 load, say it's 600 miles. On your last leg, you need 30 miles to complete the route. If you just click the standard speed in the box, say 60MPH, it will say truck mileage of 630 miles, not 600.
It's a minor thing, and easy enough to attribute to "out of route miles", but it is something I just never noticed before. Also if the driver mileage works the same way, then this is a method for drivers to "pad their stats" a little.

Not a bug, it has always been like that. Admin already knows, but I forget why he decided not to change it.

If you click 60 mph and you only need 30, you will use 60 miles of fuel, as well. That is why I don't run more than needed, unless I screw up.

Yeah, I forgot about that. You use up that extra gasoline, so it would not be the best way to "boost your stats".

This has been reported before.
Yes the mileage you enter or the default is what is added to the driver and the truck.
