    Although if I drove 300 miles out of route just to kiss my wife, she wouldn't be kissing me. It would look ugly, the neighbors would come outside to see what all the commotion is about and I flee back out on the road in a hurry.

    I’ll be honest I’ve never figured out my loaded only rate per mile, I’ve yet to see a deadhead/backhaul button at any of the fuel pumps, I just do rolling average
