    I love the auto-inflation systems.

    I'm closing out my 3rd straight 2-week pay period with a minimum of 7,300 miles. Getting a bit of a breather on this 3-day WI>GA load. Unload Vidalia tomorrow noon. She didn't send over the preplan Friday. Hoping for PacNW or at least a Vegas load but odds are will see a short hop to DFW area

    Just got finished with a good week. 3714 miles. Now sitting in the Lincoln yard for a 34. Hopefully the shop here will figure out the opti idle problem while I'm here.

    The mechanic found a faulty speed sensor and replaced it and part of the wiring harness. The sensor was sending ghost movements to the computer, which could easily have caused the opti-idle to shut off.

    We shall see. It makes sense.

    Not sure of your routing, but if you are going to pass near NYC during the daytime, I highly suggest routing through Scranton, PA, then taking I-84 into CT. By daytime, I mean between 4AM and 10PM. I do not trust traffic anywhere near NYC.

    Going through on a Sunday morning before 09:00 is generally not too bad. May even be some parking at the Milford Pilot.

    If I can see the difference between a dark thread and a light thread, I stay away from NYC. Sometimes you might get lucky. Sunday's are sometimes not bad. But if there is a serious wreck, even a Sunday can be terrible.

    I usually go I78 east to I287 north over the Tappan Zee Bridge to I95 or I684 depending at what time.

    Sitting in Nogales, AZ waiting for my company to figure out what they want me to do.

    This is probably the most screwy load I've ever picked up for Shaffer, and now they are adding another stop to it. I don't even know yet if the extra stop will be a pick or drop.

    Being this close to the Mexico border I really do not like odd loads.

    I'm glad we don't mess with that crap or with "those brokers"
