    Always sucks when you leave your 30 minute break @ 27 minutes get a green light and have to take another -.-

    Canada sounds good.

    Yup I didn't idle much either. Just really don't care much anymore about fuel opps or MPG. Just know I'm going to break down again so.. Ya know then they wanna hold you reliable for crap miles and crap mpg in a month but it's their equipment always breaking.


    5 days in shop go on board get a 700 mile run and 1day and half to deliver. Grocery warehouse fun!

    6.4 fuelopps score, 6.8mpg in the driver connection, & 7.0 by the math (started month with 1500-miles still left from a feb dispatch). Not bad considering winter fuel, 3 layovers, lots of 2-lane highways with stop lights/signs, & crossing continental divide 5 times (4 of which had 43,000+ in the box).

    What's fuelopps got to say? "Try slowing down." You want me to slow down? Either pay me a mpg bonus large enough to compensate for the loads I will lose on account of diminished hours/later on board time, or give me a week's plan in advance so I can adjust me speed to my hours. Otherwise I'm gonna look out for ol' #1 and conserve my 70 by running as fast as practicable.

    Oh cool! After I unload in Nogales, I have to drive north (towards the house) 40 miles, wait around 20 hours, go back to Nogales then head home. Well at least they told me ahead of time. Still feels like they're bending me over.
