    As far as I know I am. Haven't been told differently.

    I think there is a pattern there. Not sure why there would be a difference, but I think once you get onto a regular dm, you will run harder.

    I did mange 2600 miles for the week of no truck payment, so, can't really complain about that. I just hate sitting for no reason. I wonder if they will approve an exterior trailer wash to get the few hundred pounds of ice off the trailer.

    Standard inflation rates on the tires, haven't touched the filters since I got the thing.

    Hmmm.. How far out from pm? I run tractor tires at 120 instead of 110. Tiny bit less rolling resistance, tread composition notwithstanding.
    My next set of tires will be the lowest rolling resistance I can find. Curious how the shops tire prices compare to TA/Petro.

    Still no preplan. Good thing I used sleeper berth status and not off duty. Just in case I need to use the 8 and 2 split.

    Just woke up from a 3 hour nap. Will try and get a little more sleep in about an hour or so.

    Well hopefully things will be quicker when I get there today. LoL
    Don't really want to sit again after empty.
    Hopefully you will get something soon though.

    Part of me wants to sit here today just to let the truck and trailer thaw out. Covered in ice and the blue beacon here charges $5 a minute for ice removal. That will add up quick with amount if ice I have.

    The other part says lets roll. It will melt and fall off as I go down the road.

    Sitting at my delivery at Maines Paper in Arlington, TN. Was hoping would take me early but no dice, don't start receiving until 7 pm. Guess I am taking a 10 here.

    Wish I had unlimited data for my phone and internet. Already used 12 gb in the last 10 days, the more I sit the more I seem to use.
