I broke the system!

Posted 06.25.2009 at 10.25 AM by Frenzy
For the last month the weekly fuel report that the company sends me has had only the last 13 week useage and has not listed the last week. There is a report that my DM puts up that lists statistics for the drivers in his fleet, and I am missing from that report.

Turns out that the system rejects any MPG reports higher than 9.99 mpg as being anomalous data.

I feel bugged every time I look at the monthly terminal reports. The reports are sorted by miles (which are not...

Possessed by possessions, the evils of storage

I have been working the last two weekends on cleaning out a storage unit It looks like this will be the major summer project.

Boxes of old paperwork need to be checked before being pitched. Same is true of old clothes. All have to be checked closely because there might be a piece or two of gold jewelery that got misplaced. It's not just my wife's stuff, I was just as bad with tools.

Postpartum depression

10 MPG at last!!

Posted 05.24.2009 at 12.57 AM by Frenzy
On May 22, I finally did a 10 mpg round trip run from Yreka CA to Sumner WA. This is about a 990 mile drive. My loads are light, about 12K, and most of my driving is done in Oregon where the speed limit is 55.

Three years ago my C 15 sucked a valve. I had it rebuilt and rerated to 500 hp. At the time of the rebuild the shop found two bad injectors and a cracked turbo housing.

Before the rebuild I had a hard time pulling 7.5 mpg from the truck. I had a difference between...
