    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.
