    Lake Station, IN. What a day. Left out of Breezewood with my mpg showing 5.9. By the time that I hit the Cleveland area, I was down to 5.4. Hills and winds. Finally when flattened out, now at a whopping 6.1. Sent a pplan. My pta is 1300 tomorrow. With 7.5 hours avail. What am I sent. DH 80 miles for a loaded trailer that is ready right now, and take it 280 miles by 2000 up to Menominee on mostly 2 lane road. Good old Plus 1 and letting computers pick our loads. Said no, with my eta, taken off me. Did not want it anyway. Can not remember any decent fr8 up in that area without some serious DH.

    Sorry to hear that. Tough to deal with, especially when that far away.

    Salt Lake terminal, still.
    Been here since Saturday at noon for a b service.
    Finally got it done this morning.

    Still no pplan, and my home time is set for the 20th in Denver. So I'll have another near $0 paycheck coming up.
    Roads are very bad between here and there right now.
    Plus, I need a sim class by the 26th to stay off safety hold.

    It never rains... it just pours.

    Indianapolis, IN. The guy at the shop in memphis told me these 2013 trucks have been set to not idle unless it's less than 20 degrees. Gonna have to buy a better sleeping bag I guess.

    My '13 Volvo idles like normal.
    After 5 minutes it shuts down unless I push the clutch pedal. Then it will idle until I shut it down.
    Temp has nothing to do with it.
