    I did it a number of times at my last company, with a best of 711 in 10:58 running I40... But that truck ran a genuine 65mph. My prostar does 64 (according to both qc & my gps) except for brief bursts to 65 at the crests of hills... The drive tires are pretty worn though, so maybe it'll happen whenever I get virgin rubber...

    Best day has been 830 miles, but that was 13:30 drive time...

    SLC getting another trailer fixed (2 lights & new brake shoes). Oh how I loathe drop & hook trailer pool roulette. At least I didn't have enough 11 to board this time so it is only costing me patience.

    Sling box, heard of it, but don't you need cable or dish for that?
    I got free month of Netflix, a lot of shows I haven't seen. The selection of movies has a lot to be desired.
    Since I can hot spot my phone to my kindle, will see what amazon prime has to offer.

    There is only a fraction of the available streaming content shown on the main Netflix page, so be sure to use the search box. Still, the total streaming content is limited compared to hard copies. Thats where the 3 dvds come in --take them with you and return them anywhere on the road to be sent whatevers next on your list to your house.


    So that 8-stop Canada load I had is weird on my payroll. I figured since I was dispatched on the load long before the payroll cutoff, it would all be on the same pay period, but apparently the only dispatch that counts is when you were dispatched from one stop to the next... Means last week's miles plummet to 2300 instead of 3100, though that period still had 4 loaded crossings & 5 extra stops for $1200 gross. Not used to getting that much pay for so few miles! I just hope I don't get stuck running short hops all this week now that I'm sitting on the board with 1800 miles on a monday afternoon...

    Sitting in Taylor waiting on my Liao to Akron, IN to arrive from Canada. Short run to start the week off but hopefully it picks up.

    Hello again Conway Truckload. I've just returned from Aghanistan and so happy to hear that all the new trucks DON'T have tag axles. So the front office finally listened to the drivers. Mustang congrads on the driver of the year. I seen a few new Conway T-680 rolling down the I 35. Sun. Trying to convince the wife to let me drive again. We'll see.
