    You're joking, right? They had me running Midwest regional with mostly 30000 pound or less loads for a month. You almost can't get flatter ground. They had me at 7.29 for that month.

    437 miles at 8.1 MPG during the most efficient time of the year does not a 12,000 mile month make. Let alone a 120,000 mile year.

    Back at it today. Had to do Rambo trailer search in Greensboro to find an mt but other than that no problem. Drove extreme vampire hours to Carlisle mad delivery got next load picked up then back to nc tonight. Then picking up my dad cause he is visiting and riding with me back up to Carlisle on Friday. Then he's going to see my sister who is in NYC for the summer and I'm running somewhere the opposite direction.
