Stopped for break in Vegas
Picked up in Fresno yesterday, delivers in Hartford, CT Monday morning.
Reefer Loaded 43000lbs -10F
Nice Run!

 

Here is my recap for april 5, 2010 to May 18, 2010
out for 6 weeks
logged 16,500 miles

Put the truck (2010 Cascadia Condo) to the test and took I-70 across the county,started at Fresno CA to Hartford CT

I am impressed with the power on the low end around 1400 rpm

It pulled strongly up the The Tehachapi Mountains near the Mojave Ca-58. The Tushar Mountains are the third highest mountain range in Utah. Its highest point, Delano Peak, is over 12,000 feet high I-70 Utah. anf lastly the Rocky Mountains (Eisenhower Tunnels) they were the highest vehicular tunnels in the world 11,000 feet in elevation when built in 1973 to 1979.

Most Trucks have adverse effects from altitude usually a 3-5% decrease in power for every 1000 ft of elevation.

I will testify that side by side the Cascadia DD15 out performed many of the" Other Big Fleet" trucks attempting the Rocky Mountains, Considering the top end cuts out at 2150 RPM. My Loaded Gross Wt 79,000 lbs.

I am home in New Orleans for a Week R and R

 

Thanks for your interest RedDirtDriver.

We are one of the few Fleets that still have Coast to Coast runs for Solos. As for averages it is between 1200 AND 1800 Mi. per dispatch including mty and loaded. This week my load dropped 6/18 in Piedmont SC and reloaded at Same then dropped at Tuscon AZ 6/22 followed by a reload same day at Casa Grande and delivered Today (6/24) at Scramento, Ca. Picking up load this evening which runs to Mo. and Michigan. 3000 miles

Some of the drivers run for 4 weeks out and they tend to average more miles than the 2 week OTR Driver. "THE LONGER YOU STAY OUT THE FARTHER THEY SEND YOU." 4 weeks out get you 5 days off! ....if you can handle that much time away. Home time is better for drivers near major lanes. Swapped loads get you home and OK is near Dallas. We do a lot of trucking there. Word to the wise, we are forced dispatched and unless your out of hours your ### will be in that driver seat all day.
