Didn't know that. Is it on the old Clark Air Force Base? I think FedEx has a terminal on that base.

A trip out to the PacNW helps cure any burnout that can quickly occur in between.

No you do not see too many fleet owners like Ridgeline.
He would not have to fly me anywhere much, just picked a sail spot somewhere on the bay and a instructor for half a day on the water. Especially if there is no fishing to be done right then and the revenue made would offset a potential lost day. I know I talked about sailing alot. It was good to me in difficult times. But here along the Arkansas river it's not good sailing waters and I would be so rusty as to be dangerous.
IT is good for some things. I happened to enjoy the hardware building of ludicrous computers on a pile of money and then rebuilding them while upgrading on holiday sales for years. My ex's machine is occupying my thougths very often. It's approaching 12 years of service after I built it for her with hours sufficient to essentially be beyond the 50K hour lifetime of the CPU.
I have been debating building her a replacement or taking a few hundred dollars for a E3 auctioned off laptop with at least a pair of video cards and some reasonable hardware after the Industry show is over next year or later this year for her.
However. All time off has a price. The truck sits. I think it;s between 600 dollars to at least 1500 or more lost when it is sitting and empty. More when idling off the fuel and precooling like it did once for us in Salinas CA at Americold there. each day you lose that much if not more in productivity. Fleet owners know this. Most drivers don't yet know or maybe care about that. It is good to take time off now and then, even better when you can pace and stamina and keep producing revenue.TheyCallMeDave and Lab work Thank this. -
Only when I use my foot brake which is never.
