    Fallinangel, .25 a thousand would be about 100.00 to unload a 40,000 load and as I said JBS Hyrum, not Greeley is required to unload their own trucks, and JBS is running about 70% broker loads.
    Just remember that 65 maybe good for some drivers but not all, remember that when you drove 55 they said that was safe. I think that there are a lot of drivers like yourself that should not go over 65 for the safety of the public. But for myself I have driven millions of miles at 70, 75 without a single incident. If you look at the national average in this country 90% of truck accidents were below 65.
    8 mpg is good for a big truck I agree, however I get 7.5 at JBS and use to get 4,000 a week, not two weeks, like it is now. You don’t save a thing, it cost you money, you are loosing 1,000 to 1500 a week that is about $400.00 week or more, do the math.
