    I had to look that up and see as I'm not all that familiar with Florida. It shows the town is Reddick, FL where the Petro is located. Professor alluded to the location of Live Oak being farther north. I made 2 trips down there in less than a week, so maybe some of those truck stops will stick for a bit lol.....it's always really large gaps between Florida runs...which is fine for me as I find it difficult at times to navigate through there.

    Caught a 34 at the yard and then they sent me for a random. I saw that they had the Volvo 860 in the shop today. Had decals and everything. They're going to try one out to see if the it is manageable weight wise. I'm not too sure how heavy it is as I didn't get a chance to really check it out. I figure if the empty weight with a reefer can stay around 35000-ish lbs, that truck will work, otherwise I envision a transition to Freightliners.

    Plenty of companies run Volvo 860's. Maybe they run lighter freight but I know I've seen plenty of them pulling reefers. If weight becomes too much of an issue, just cut your light weight by only running off the driver's side fuel tank. You guys got plenty of fuel stops to utilize. Just fill up driver's side once a day. Then of course if you load light on fuel just run it down to a quarter tank before throwing any on.

    My problem with Florida is we don't always have the best of luck with freight coming out. Loading a load in GA now but it's not scheduled for delivery till 15:00 on Wednesday 444 miles from here in Alabama. I'm hoping they can move the appt up cuz I can be there tomorrow no problem.
