Don't feel bad. I have this 45lb load. According to pplan, it was only 42, which it is. Someone forgot to add in the pallet weight, and going from her to Columbus. I can just imagine my mpg on the hills here in PA and Ohio

At the mothership ... waiting for my tcall to show up. Then on to Norcal for a Monday AM unload and some hometime.

The Columbus terminal. What a day. Right around the 151mm on 71 South, almost a 20 miles back up. ODOT decided today that it was a good day to do some line painting. Well thanks to the winds, 5.9mpg. I am so out of my comfort range. So tired of these heavy loads and constant hills and mountains. Deliver at 0600 at Big Lots. Have not live unloaded there in along time. Then home. Come out of the gate, hang a fast right, up to Fisher Road, and another fast right, str8 to I-70 and home. Also dragging this MT with me.
Did something today that I normally do not. Was comming back through Hubbard/Youngstown area, and notices that fuel was still at $3.77/gal, so decided, stop and get some. topped off one tank. Then went on up the road and there at Lodi, back up to $4.09. Got to the terminal, $3.85. Not sure why so cheap up there. -
