Thanks for the advise, I am feeling it out today I ran 58 and at one point before the darn wind was up to 8.13, it is fun learning the truck, I did notice I have one of those annoying window air leaks that is high pitched and cannot find it. Sitting in Jamestown, NM looking forward to an fairly easy day tomorrow and Monday for the 1pm delivery.

 

I wanted to go so I have a coupon thing and note in computer for a free detail, I wanted to get the heck out of there and did not want to wait around. I got a CHEAP CB at Loves it is a Midland was 29.99, works great tested today and it went out 2 miles so not to bad for a cheapy, I don't use it except for shippers, truck stops when backing and if freeway is backed up for accident info. So I was not going to spend a bunch of money on it. I am 5 hours from 1st delivery at 1pm tomorrow so I am good. I plan on getting up at 6 and on road 6:30-7 and arriving a bit early.

I tried every speed today from 56 all the way to 65 for about an hour each and 61-62 is the sweet spot, I could not believe doing 57-59 mileage did not climb it stayed same and was VERY low. I got up to 9.22 MPG doing 62.

I also got my scanner working with the transflow now software off the website, everything appears to be good to go we will see Tuesday when I am done with this load.

 

It was one of a few slim choices, I wanted the Pete 587 but this Cascadia sure is nice, might get a Pete net go around.

 

Well 1st deliveries are in the books, SpringMO to San Jose, CA for 1 of 2 stops, then I called the 90 (last stop) in Fairfield, CA and they unloaded me this afternoon as well. Used my in cab scanner to send in the trip info so all is well. We will see what I get in the morning. Great 1st run going to start working on fuel mileage a bit the truck did ok but I want to fine tune it and get the sweet spot.

 

Well things are going good on a decent run from Bakersfield, CA to Grandview, WA, going up the 97 tomorrow should be interesting. Once I deliver on Friday morning, then it is a dead head home to dump stuff I don't need and pickup supplies I do need and am missing, then off and running. I will start running team next Thursday pending any issue, my buddy from Watkins & Shepard has decided to join me here and run team, he is Lynchmob on the board in the W/S forum.

PS: Getting better with the mileage the truck is rocking yesterday I averaged 8.8, today loaded and running about 500 miles I was 7.7 so not to shabby running 54-59 here in Cali.
