    As far as hazmat, it could be Coke/Pepsi, could be paint, cleaning supplies, fracking chemicals, ect You should have your tanker endorsement also. We haul some bulk totes.
    10% broker loads
    20% drop and hook
    80% live load/ unload
    (I made up these percentages, not company #s... My experience)

    I just had the same trailer for 4 weeks... Sometimes I'll have 4 in a week...

    I'm getting 7.9 to 8.1. I've been told if your running the winter blend fuel your MPG will go down a little I don't know how true that is
     
    ncmickey Thanks this.

    Just call dispatch after 8am, someone will be there.

    Last year my MPG went down almost a 1 MPG with the winter blend of fuel. But my truck was brand new last winter. I've been getting 7.9 give or take a few .1s.... I'll let you know in a couple months how much that drops....

    Ashle said she is out until sometime next week. When I talked to Jeremy about my load that picks up tomorrow, he said he would send me the then info on the next load on Friday, so I guess he'll be there tomorrow unless he is working from home.

    Keep in mind your max payout target, I believe 16's are the same as the 15's which max out at 7.7 mpg. It's about the spec, I could get 8.1 mpg across mixed loads in my 14 and now with the 15 I get 7.8 mpg.

    Yeah my 16 is only getting 7.4 to 7.6 with me trying. With the 379/389s at my last employer, I got 3.4-4.6, but they cared about time, not mileage, so we ran 80mph with everything on substantial overweight permits.
