    Picked up Chicken today in Russellville, the trailer they were taking it off of to put on mine was a JCT. Small world!

    I don't know about the upgrade i just entered my truck info since I started the choice program at the pumpkin to kinda watch my $$$$ bottom line and the fuel mileage thing is cool it auto calculates your expenses for the month. Right now I'm getting 6.67 mpg on paper but gonna stop off in effingham to talk to the "DR.":yes2557: and set my injectors evenly and a little more, also about to order pitt powers muffler so all this should help MPG!!! That's what it's all about huh. Mine is a 14L series 60 515hp 13spd 3:42 22.5's so I'm pretty sure it is capable of low to mid 7's on mpg. How is your JCT adventure going? I was approved but the pumpkin made me an offer I couldn't refuse:biggrin_25525: I don't know if LMB is on choice or not but if he is I bet enjoys it!! I thought I read in here he was that or doing bulk? not sure.

    That's awesome I know you and your wife were racking up the miles at JCT,I was on a dedicated run but I was home almost every night,just didn't pay that well, I applied at JCT got accepted then got an offer from the pumpkin and now do the choice program which is working for me,glad to hear your doing good. The loads out in your area are pretty decent(2.30+)rplm but getting back(midwest) is something else I usually grab light loads out of Jenks,OK(kimclark) take em to Houston then work my way back up then down,I'm waiting on a load to confirm going to Valdosta,GA it's 1.51 but light and preloaded/drop $1185 to the truck not bad for 2 days get it in b4 cutoff saturday,which they are gonna change to monday sometime in the near future. Ok enough gabb'n you take care and hit me up on facebook "friend" :biggrin_25525: I'm also on schneider national facebook k

    I enjoy chatting with you guys the sense of humor helps, I started a thread to kinda explain the program to interested people I would still like to stop in and check up on you guys and you all are more then welcome to stop in and say HI.(pumpkin pride positive).

    I think the mental challenges are equal no matter "WHO" you drive for but more so for L/O,O/O with a lot of decisions that can make or break your day,week,bank and sometimes your career!

    All the info we can pass along to one another to further us in are endeavors is one of the best tools we have; "COMMUNICATION" real world advice that comes from real world drivers,in real world situations makes a
    "REAL" world of difference.
