    Give you guys a update. Going good so far. My boss is giving me all the miles I want. After I deliver this load to Ayre mass I'll have 3500mi for the week legally on elogs. Un-governed truck and 7000lbs in the box helps and mostly drive nights.

    Live load and unload also. I didn't think it was possible to get this many miles running regional/local and never doing drop and hooks. I'm on dedicated run from Nichols ny to Ayre mass. Empty soda cans is all I've been doing and I love the light loads.

    I'm usually in and out of both shipper/receiver in 1hr, 2 tops. Crown cork is the shipper and epic enterprises' is receiver.

    I thought the 09 cascadia they gave me with 800k was going to be a POS but it actually was taken pretty good care of. I basically never shut off the truck and haven't had a parked regen yet. Even after sleeping 10hr w/o high idle feature. 6.8 mpg running 72-74mph calculated by hand

    Sweet. I'm glad to hear it's going good for you Brett. I'll admit, I usually shy away from most companies that run Cascadia's, Columbia's or Century's because most people beat the hell out of them, but I've been in a couple that were actually taken care of and weren't bad trucks. Mostly night driving with light loads sounds nice as well. Keep us posted as time goes on bud.
