    I made it to diamond level (1500 gallons) at Love's last month. This month I'm not even gonna make it to gold (500 gallons).

    Yes, I remember you. You shared with us that you must do a 12 hr reset everyday.

    This is how I run, back to back for two weeks...

    Last year I ran 150k dispatched miles, solo company driver, 62mph truck. As you can see I'm not much when it comes to enjoying myself and taking in the scenery. Then again, like you said, different strokes for different folks.

    You must never unload or get loaded? Or all drop and hooks?

    Only suckers get loaded, it kills fuel economy.

    1. I think he was being a smart ### and 2. When your empty you get exquisite fuel economy compared to when your loaded...

    I just wondered why you'd get better fuel economy doing drop and hooks as opposed to live loads and unloads, because I couldn't think why one would be different then the other unless your idling there for an hour or two.
