<p>[QUOTE="Round2, post: 2552340, member: 80728"]Day 11- 83.75 hours logged. I didn't add up the miles but I would guess 4500ish. Well on the way. The QualComm is easy, however you have to use it a lot. Trip planning is much more complex than it was back in the days of multiple log books and no accountability. I do however like the thought of sleep once in a while. The old days required me to run hard to keep up with truck pmts. and road fees, of course that meant more fuel costs as well. Now I can simply drive and someone else has to balance the books!</p><p>(edit) 4888 miles through day 12. Had to go swap trailers as the one we picked up from Mexico could not be cleaned well enough for "food grade" loads. It cost us some running around to find another trailer in Altoona Iowa, but mostly we lost a load opportunity. Now we are at a Flying-J. I got to clean the truck and sweep the trailer.</p><p>(never give the OCD guy the cleaning supplies) lol - oh well it looks great![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
