Good to hear that your happy IROC. Gainey's sister company LCT hires in FL. I have been looking into them. According to a source, their rears are 3.36 so that may explain the good fuel mileage.

We had the singles on the drives, the wide tires one tire per axle per side on the first truck, on this truck we have regular duals. The trailers sometimes have the singles on their drives too. We've had 2 so far with them. LCT, GST, GTS, and SuperService are all 'Gainey Corps'

You do realize that trailers don't have drive axles.

I was just having some fun with her. I'm sure she'll take it in stride.

Ha, I even thought to myself, not drives tandems and I still wrote drives. Hey you try teaming and see how well you type after week

We are currently either on a 10 or a 34 I cannot remember which. Hubby ran out of 70, I am down till late tonight on my 10 and we have no load. Oh well, we are close to family we haven't see so we are taking it in stride.

That just means you're staying busy.

I sometimes write things and then read them later and wonder if I was sleeping or awake when I posted it.

Well they had us get a 34 then we were ordered north to pickup a shuttle load, short run, but we get about 600 deadhead miles out of it. We deliver in the morning and are in a better freight area.

I will make some observations so far, it seems as if the MPG ratio directly relates to truck speed. So somehow they 'reward' you for improving mpg by allowing you to run up to 72 mph when you meet certain mpg ratios.

Also, it appears that the freight is ACTUALLY dispatched by the daytime dispatcher. Which is both hurtful and helpful. It allows better control for you, but means that your dispatcher HAS to be on the ball. Because any issues we've had when our disaptcher was off duty went unhandled till he got back which is frustrating but so far thats the biggest frustration.

We got our 150.00 x 2 for orientation as scheduled last friday deposited into our joint account, nothing was taken out at all even taxes which I am sure will come back to bite me in the butt later lol. Now this week we will go without a paycheck because they process loads on a 2 week window (aka loads delivered Tuesday Week 1 will be paid Friday Week 2) after that we will get a weekly paycheck. So the next week will be a HARD week as we have EXACTLY 77 dollars to live on lol.
