    I’d say about 90% of the places I go on MWR are great, but today I turned down the first load since I’ve been leased on here. They wanted to send me back to Kinloch MO and I said I’ll never go back there after spending 7 hours in the dock on Tuesday. Apologies in advance for whoever picks that load up out of Crete with a 3:30am delivery on Tuesday morning.

    There’s a Loves just west of you that was pretty decent back when it first opened. But it will probably be short on parking.

    A question for the guys driving the newer generation Freightliner 23 or 24 year models, what type of fuel economy are y’all averaging? Starting to look at newer trucks, and get some ideas.
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy Thanks this.

    I’d say I’m averaging in the high 7’s. 7.8 or so. Of course that changes based on what you’re hauling and where you’re going. I tend to do a lot of California stuff up until recently for some reason. When i was on SWR my MPG was a bit higher because i was running over much flatter ground

    The outfit i park my truck at routinely gets about the mid 8’s for their fleet average on their dozen or so Cascadia’s. But they run midroofs on super singles governed at 62. They also hardly if ever go out west

    Bingo!
    I'm at Four Oaks, BC... you win the prize money.
    You have good eyes.
    Next time they send me there I'm going to look around to see if I can spot what you have mentioned.
