    I hear ya! Do you shave his face? and wash his stuff? Would his name sound like TAfool? Like You? I don't mean to point any fingers!

    They told me to come back after a while! That is a whole nuther story! Glad you finally got it out of the space with no light! I think the current lease is pretty good! I think they are getting slammed with drivers coming over! I'll be back!
     
    TAfool Thanks this.

    How long do most of you stay out? 2-3 months? More? Less?

    For me how long I'm out depends on the length of time I plan to be home. Routinely I'm out 3-4 weeks and take 3-4 days off. With a 7-10 day vacation once or twice a year, on top of all of the truck shows I attend.

    Well I have been a busy bee. I dropped off my load heading to Arlington, Tx in the Fort Worth yard 2 days early. Picked up another trailer and am heading to Sherman, Tx to pick up a load of Tyson heading to OKC, only 270 miles total but It is same day delivery tonight. I have a preplan to go pick up tomorrow at Ponca, OK heading to Portland, Or.:yes2557: Woohoo total miles 1930 for that load.

    As for the Scangauge d I love it. For the week I am averaging 7.9mpg and no load under 43000 lbs. It really helps when watching your boost pressure and fuel economy as to how to change my driving habits. I highly recommend it and they are still having that sale at autozone for 2 more days.
     
    Sharpp Thanks this.

    I like to get in a groove and run for 4-6 weeks. After six weeks though I start feeling burned out. It's helpful if I can run by the house under a load.

    I agree with you. A month is normal for me for 20 years of trucking. But 6-8 weeks I start getting an attitude.
