    7.01 mpg
    11.5 oor - dropped 9 percent in 2 weeks. Go figure

    I think if u pick up a load Fri and run all day sat home, deliver Monday, I think the Qualcomm considers Ur sat run as out of route then when u unload Monday it catches up, but u get Ur fuel info Sunday a day early... Just my theory...

    You are correct. If you are under a load those miles are considered OOR. Sometimes Ill run a thousand miles over the weekend and take a major hit on my OOR. Same is true for fuel. Fill up on Thr and your milage will go up.

    My latest fill averaged 8.62, so that mpg should go up a bit.

    I love it when the winds are just right. Joplin to home 7.9 mpg at 68 mph. Lots of hard running this week. Must have been going in the opposite direction as some because only one run was under 7 mpg. We'll see what the Sunday numbers will be. Should be near, if not over 25k miles for the quarter tariff, 7.3 mpg, and 12.5% OOR.

    As a side note, my trailer FINALLY got fixed. No thanks to Madison (four attempts total), though. I took it to Gary and it was fixed within an hour (an hour of it actually getting in the bay, that is). Three bad ABS sensor wires. They say it is very common on the F12XXX Rets because the harnesses were installed too tight and the sensor wires break because of it (Madison said the brakes heat up the sensors and swell the moving parts causing errors...that BS was the last straw trusting Madison with my truck). My next load took me to Central States where I picked up a new trailer...at least the next guy will have a trailer that has been completely repaired.

    like I said Gary has the best shop. I tried to get all my work done there. Madison I don't know what their problem is down there they go through more people than popcorn at a drive-in.
