I am getting unloaded here in Florence NJ......yet again. I got to the shipper in Belle Glade at 4:45pm Saturday and had the pleasure of spending 6.5 hours waiting for my lettuce to precool. I left there at midnight and made it to St George SC to take my 10. I got up and left at 2pm yesterday. It was raining when I left and rained right up to the VA state line. At this point it was now dark, there was no more spray coming off the tires of the big trucks, and the four wheelers started to dance and roll off the side of the road and into the ditches. This was my cue to go to bed. I made it to the Davis T/S and decided to wake up at 3am and finish the last 355 miles. It was snowing real hard all the way to here. I got around DC and Baltimore without any issues, stopped for a coffee in Paulsboro then left with 45 miles to go and 2 hours to get there for my appointment time. I got here 5 minutes late because of a fatality dump truck accident on 295 that had the whole road closed. It's things like this that put's everything else in perspective. When I saw the truck and how the guard rail went through the drivers side windshield I said a little prayer and thanked God I have another day here.
It was a very hectic day and a half home. My wife is doing all she can taking care of her favorite uncle that's in the hospital. It's tough when we get old. Not that it makes it any easier, but we've been through this numerous times since we got married. We lost her dad, my dad, her grandmother and her mom in the last 14 years. When a crisis arises like this I realize why I married this women. She's so good when the do do hits the fan. If there's anyone you want on your side during a crisis it's my wife Lesli.Cyanide, Bumper, Rugerfan and 1 other person Thank this. -

Ok here I go again...
Have you seen the price on your fuel tickets? What is your trucks top speed? Keeping our govenors set at 67.5 adds a lot to the fuel bill so I am pretty sure our raises are going into our tanks. Could you make your route work at 62? If you could, then you should negotiate to have your truck turned down and you keep 2/3 of the fuel savings.
Here is a good place to start looking for your trucks' best fuel economy ('sweet spot.")

I know I can not make my trips work at that speed.Last edited: Mar 26, 2013

Well said JohnBoy but we both know most companies do not think that way if they give you a raise they have to give everyone one. Sad isn't it.

I sending you a pm as I do not to detract this thread. I wholeheartly agree with this statement and think it is sad.
