    That's awesome, you were obviously doing something right. would you say that's typical of an emissions engine?

    Compared to the mid-late 90s when fuel was dirt cheap these rates are nothing to write home about.

    2.00 avg out west for a flat, how does that work out. Cost of living is stupid expensive in a lot of places. What's the "good market" pay out there?

    Beats me. I never run out West. Same could be said for the East coast too though if you think about it.

    Yea but our cheap van freight is around 3.50-4.00 mi. A few posts back I posted a van load into NYC for 1750 on 200 mi. Well 1500 after tolls. But this isn't spot market stuff so take that into consideration

    There's no shortage of good freight around here. Total theirs about 30 trucks with the carrier were with and he's turning down loads left and right, not because it cheap but too few trucks

    I believe it.

    my 87' 362 averaged mid 5's with a 3406B... 9 direct on 3.55's, AND sounded good, nourishing and quenching.
