    Our older, experienced drivers will understand this question. Remember when you use to be able to tell what motor a truck had, just by what it sounded like idling? Todays egr emission trucks don't have the same unique sound, with the exception of maybe an ISX. This came to mind while I was walking back to my truck at the Arcadia Wally D/C and there was a restored old cabover with a healthy sounding engine waiting for someone to back in a door...Here Kitty Kitty Kitty.

    I got a new truck a year ago. It took drivewyze a couple months to get it working on the people net in the truck. I was totally surprised the first time I saw a green light pop up because I had been pulling into 2-4 weigh stations every day.

    Yep Snackbar. Especially when they mash the gas and you hear the turbo spool up. I drove a 379 from PAC Lease several years ago with a 3406 in it and a 13 speed. Would run like the wind and still average over 7 mpg.
     
    Lonesome and Speed_Drums Thank this.

    My company switched to drivewyze a while back. I run tx ok and ar. Some tx scales i can now bypass but get pulled into every ok scale.

    OK is because the dude in charge of the OK scales sits on the board for prepass.
    The only scales that drivewyze works on are the old ones that are never used anymore because they built the new ones.

    Headed up to Goodlettsville for asap, which means Sunday for my hours. Once I get to my drop, I will have turned 4100 miles in 8 days...but, doing a 34 is a must to accomplish this...and my truck smelled home, so a 34 at home is on my agenda. Turned over 10k in the last 21 days...I know I have run harder in my past, but that was long before Elog...and when I was much, much younger.

    I went through the scales at Erick this morning and got the same message I get every week, “Non Drivewyze site”. Maybe they are signed up but don’t use it.
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.
