Running with JCT

It's all about the plan. At times, I plan to depart on the minute and other times, I get the chance to be more leisurely about it. It also has a lot to do with when the 10 starts. If you have the luxury of always sleeping at night, super. My plans don't always work like that.

 

Got approved to go to orientation on Monday 09/30, i'm excited and i'm going to contribute to this threat, well guys and girls i think i made a good decision but ill keep you posted

 

Here's a real-life example for my plan today. I'm sitting at a DC waiting on a trailer that I'm going to take on a 6-hour safari to its destination. My appointment at the other end is 0500, so I have to leave at 2300 to make it. I'm on a 10 right now that will actually be an 11, so I have some wiggle room.


They don't all work like that but this one did.

 

Anyone hear from TysonDriver1 He went through Orientation this week should be in a truck and rolling by now! If you are out there let us know of your experience! We all await your information! Till then Drive Safe Out there, Good Luck!

 

Well I left the house a couple of days ago on a load from Mt Carmel, Va to Jacksonville, Fl. It was 240 dead head and 650 loaded. I get there with plenty of time and it takes a good 7 hours to get loaded. Well I get loaded and head to the scales. I am 78,300 lbs with fuel and still have a bunch of mountain / hills to get throught til I get down to I-95. I went that way to avoid most of the mountains and to stop and eat lunch with the wifey. I love the freedom of routing myself. Well I am stopped about 50 miles away from the drop in the morning and I have a preplan to pickup from the same location in the afternoon to head to Arlington, Tx. 1000 miles. Well today running 65-66mph with the hills and 78,300 lbs I managed to get 8.4mpg. I wish I knew how to post the attachment but I sent it to Sharpp so hopefully he will post it for me. Thats a quick update on me so yall have a good night.

 

Soule_Man Nice To hear from you glad you got time to stop in at home! Sounds like they are going to get a good one out of Texas going to a good location! the MPG is good! Stay Safe! Take Care!
