    neither have I.
    never had my truck fluctuate like that either, except when it gets temperamental and runs weird dumping the mpg way in the toilet.


    Honestly It seemed like it was slightly bogged down. But that could've just been in my mind. It Initially came on pulling up one of the 81 hills. And everyhill after that pushed it higher.

    Blaaaaaahh I hate and love marshalls bridgewater. They pay good but they are so #### unreliable with shipping. Pushed my load out to tuesday and caused 4 loads to get cut off me. I have found one replacement that'll cover two of em but as you know searching on the weekend sucks. I'll see what i can find to finish the week off but it ain't pretty right now.

    lolol come on up here into the jungle


    I dont know what to call it they just suck altogether on the weekend it seems like with them dont book loads leaving on Saturday because they tend to cancel. If its on a Sunday you have a better chance. I think the guard told me they dont even have a loading shift working on Saturday.

    What's the deal with Frito Lay warehouses.. are they ever open??? I get the feeling they dont like talking to truck drivers.

    Delivered That load and Richmond and ran down to fayetteville for a load of tires. Why do the places with huge DC's always have a dirt lot. And i seemingly only pick them on days when its pouring down raining.

    Anywho I'll deliver this later today and hopefully i can find a load to finish my week or maybe two loads to squeeze in between this evening and cutoff tomorrow.

    Well, I'm underway. First week has been pretty conservative...just getting my feet wet and all that. But having been a company hand in the past made the learning curve a lot shorter as far as the computer work, enabling me to concentrate on other things.

    Truck is good....62 miles on it when I got it. Only thing I wish is that it had the next trim level up from this. But otherwise, IdleFree unit, Espar heater, 1500w inverter...and I have to admit it's sure nice to be able to pass at faster than 62, though I'm driving it conservatively anyway. I'm averaging a bit better than 7 mpg even with several loads over 40k. Others have been 17k and 30k, plus the deadhead (bobtail) to Jax right out of the gate for an empty.

    Been running exclusively SE for a spell, partially because it's warmer and partially due to my MILs health being iffy. But I've given myself the first month to get fully comfortable and lose the fear of over committing. All my loads have been paying better than 1.50 except for one, and I've been through the house for dinner once (could have taken a 34 at home this weekend but my wife had a change of plans...had to help her son move). So, I'm in Pageland, SC right now.

    But so far, so good.

    the SE will do ya right, 48. I do very well down here, and haven't seen a bit of snow. Leave the expeditions for the fair weather, I say.

    good luck and if you need any help, holler....
