You are already moving at the velocity the earth is turning. You are attached to it aren't you? However your frame of reference puts you at stationary assuming you're sitting at your computer. Walking at X speed will never be faster or slower depending on the direction you walk, as you aren't levitating. The same is not true for planes, thats why traveling from east to west gives different flight times than west to east.
