I guess I could change this thread to "Power Logistics logbook" or something. I am moving up into the small business realm and will be considering expanding in the future. For now, converting my truck to an Ace lease is a huge step into the fire. I have a new truck number,and once I get a logo, will have some new door graphics. More on the Ace lease next.

 

It's summer time and everyone has noticed that many trucks now are carrying children. I have the priveledge to have my 9 year old (Andrew) on board. It has been a blast. At first he spent his time on the computer playing games, but with the help of push up payments (10 push-ups per hour of gaming) he has started spending more time talking to me. We have shared alot, from Ben10 to China. Ihave heard the rundown on every Ben-10 monster in Ben's inventory, including their powers and vulnerabilities. He has been playing Command & COnquor and likes the China army, so I had him read the Wikipedia article on Communism. With a nice 2 hour discussion in the books, he is not so enaamored with China now. This led to a conversation about roads, taxes, and government. My heart is content that I have found a way to fill my child with some of America

 

Got a load from Selbyville Delaware to Alma Georgia. Let me tell you about driving US highways and local roads. 250 miles down the DelMarVa peninsula to the Bridge/tunnel and across to I95 outside Newport News. At this point I was exhausted from the stop/go/stop/go for so many miles... got on I95 and got to cruise down to Savannah. At this point I caught some more state roads in Georgia, but they were not that bad. I can honestly say that driving so many miles on those highways with stoplights every mile is truly trying on the nerves.

PS- Had a serious drop in MPG. Bought 50 gallons at Loves in Tom Brook Va. Got some Petro fuel and MPG went back to normal. Serious drop = 6.5MPG
