    With that truck's bad juju, what's the over/under on the next time it gets taken out?...3rd time's the charm, I would be afraid to be behind the wheel when it happens.

    Would be great. But way too many lobbyists and way too much money and jobs involved in getting taxes done. For most of us on W-2s that don't have any special circumstances, the IRS already knows what we should be paying in taxes every year.

    Thought about getting washed but it’s looking a little rainy today.

    I can't remember what day it was but I've seen you going East on I-80 . That's one nice looking truck with the blue color it looks very sharp.
    What type of engine?

    After being out since the 27th of December I’m finally heading home tomorrow.

    The new truck has been running good and getting decent fuel mileage considering running winter blended fuel and the extreme temperatures of the previous weeks. Now that I have a base line I will start to make a few changes to start improving fuel economy.

    Probably in March I will make an appointment to get the truck into Pittsburgh power to get a few things done. My last truck had a two year average of 8.2 mpg from the time I finished tweaking it for fuel economy. My goal on this new truck is in the high 8s for fuel economy.

    Got a relay with somebody in Indianapolis and then go to Nashville home deadhead miles since there wasn't any freight to get me home out of north Carolina and I was in WV before I got a call about relaying. Gotta get home since Tuesday I'm closing on land purchase.

    I’ll be in orientation on Monday. Any insight on Midwest regional? Things to know? Customer base? Weird procedures? I want to hit the ground running!

    I think it somewhat depends on where you live and how you want to run. For the most part it’s easy. Tons of drop and hook and you’ll be seeing the same places a lot.
