Running with JCT, Part Deux

Camaro, was that 14 the loves in kingman yours?

 

I am getting unloaded at Wal-Mart in Ochelata. Once I am done here, will be heading to the yard to have the overhead and coolant service done.

 

I just noticed something about the scale ticket from the I-10 truck stop in Rialto, CA. They changed me $9 but the ticket says $11. Two extra dollars for me. Lol.

Also, since I am going to the yard, can I turn my trip pak envelope to someone there or do I still have to put in a trip pak box?

And one more question, can I get the trailer washed out at the yard?

 

22,8 oor miles exactly. Trust me, I play with numbers constantly. I needed fuel and the next stop would have been either Kingman or Havasu. I defi itely saved money on this route to SoCal. I have driven it many times pulling flatbed and in a car. Even with the higher grade hills on 17, I saved money.

As far as time, I have wasted plenty of clock time climbing that long hill in Needles on the way into CA. The hills after Sedona are steep, but shorter. Same wear and tear, and about 25 minutes extra on a fresh 70.... and .21/gal less in fuel.

 

Trippak drop box in the lobby where your driver folder is.

Get a washout ticket from the shop to get washout at yard

 

I'll keep that in mind jarhead. I only topped off in lake haversaw so it wouldnt have done much on this run.

 

Two calculators, rand mcnally, and fuel price website (thanks Traffic!) made my mind up.

ETA: I cant claim that this would always work. If I were lighter, had full tanks in Moriarty, and averages 7.5mpg or better with a new Evo, I would have probably kept on down 15.

 

One can't forget the extra 10- 15 just to cross the Banning scale. But still a good argument can be made going either route.

 

Truth. Assuming of course one doesnt cheat and go off duty while waiting in line......which I would NEVER do.

Prepass rocks!!!

 

Nope that wasn't me. I wad sitting in Barstow. Heading down to Mira Loma now.
