    Dang Lol that more than i avg driving mostly jersey to upstate NY. I seem to avg 350-400 a day, closer to 350 most days. Pretty much do the same as me except im a door slammer.

    Head 160-200 miles down to jersey and pick up a reload for upstate NY the following morning and beat it back to the house by 1-3pm. Keep home in the middle so it works out nice
     
    McUzi Thanks this.

    Well that storm that ran through here the previous night was fun. I didn't lose power and work was called off the next day. I had 16 inches on the ground where I live. But now it's getting colder and the consistent 12-14 hour days seem to be upon me.

    2 degrees Fahrenheit in Selkirk, Ny where I loaded this morning. If you didn’t have something telling you it was cold, the 30 trucks waiting in line at the propane rack was a good indicator.

    Don't bother me much, I'll just keep dressing for the weather and making sure the heat works in the truck.

    Funny thing is being born and raised in the south and having moved up north in my mid twenties, I'm a total snatch when it comes to southern heat and humidity.
