    I had about four of the slabs break, but fortunately they fell inward and was able to keep it on the truck. They do not do as good of a job loading as they do in texas.
    Glad to see you are doing ok! Finally got a new truck. The transmission went out two weeks ago in the old one...yea!

    That's the problem most everybody pulls too far forward at the Fort. If you leave your left rear trailer tire on the concrete it will leave plenty of room for people to drive out.

    Well I will be heading up to the truck this evening so that Carolynn does not have to get up real early to take me up there. I am just delivering 50 miles south of here in Columbus Ohio.
    This past week was one of one delay after another at both Shipper and receiver.
    Hopefully this week will be better.
    Best fuel Milage I got on my new truck was 7.7. Will try to continue to improve on that this week.
    Hope everyone has a safe and great week! God Bless!

    Seems like pretty good mileage for a new truck while getting broken in.

    I kept it at 57 mph most of the time on the expressway and had some secondary roads at only 55mph. Slow take offs, slow stops.
