    Tbh, it was a light load, but yeah that was only difference. Changed out the white duallie sized ones for the aerodynamic flow through type. I paid for them though. Not asking for reimbursements either. They're mine, but loaning them to this truck ;)

    I assume you drive 55 mph. I have tried 60----61----63 and it hasn't made a difference.

    If you wanted detention you should have came on duty after the 8 hrs, fired up the truck and went down the road. If you needed more hrs to get to the cons you could have just pulled into a rest area or on the ramp to one and took a 2 hr nap to complete your 10.

    Was set at 60. But truck was moving at 61.
    Truck also had a pm, but that was before the 8.2 mpg.

    Hi all, Brand new wannabe here. Was wondering if anyone could answer some questions about running out of New Hampshire for me? Basic stuff like yard locations and what fleet you run etc? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Likely signing up for next available class in WI...

    Any of you guys know, or have met, the gazillion-miler that Rick gave a black LoneStar to? #1049, I think. Well he pulled in next to me today for his 30, at the Love's in Hooker, OK, of all places! Figures that I never seen him while I was driving for Roehl, but a few months later with COTC, and there he is... Really nice truck! I was in my pj's cuz I'm on a reset, otherwise I would have gotten out and said Hi.

    I have seen Rick a few times in Marshfield. They made sure to point him out while we were training. He has 4.5 million miles with no preventable accidents. I got to speak with another guy in the drivers lounge that has 2.5 million miles with no preventable accidents. It was an honor to meet him. I hope I can follow in their footsteps. Just finished my first solo run on Friday and got home for the holiday. Heading out Tuesday for my first real run. Going out for 24 days. The Cascadia and I are still in the honeymoon phase so I am still trying to find how to push the buttons and gears just right to make it pur. The shift pattern is a lot tighter than on the Pro Star that I trained in.

    Was in Memphis area today, had to grab mt at roetmt ...I think the west Memphis yard is no longer. Not sure how long we've had the Memphis one its off 55 at exit 11. Nice place, lots of room.

    Heading north, have an appointment in Gary Wednesday.
