Well this trip so far has been a complete worthless fuel milage try. I started out in KCMO and got a load to WA at 35K and hit wind from hell from Right before SD. Was steady 20-25 mile winds for a full day. Then hit more wind the next day going all the way to MT. I think I was at a 6.5 or something like that at the time.

Finally got a good day driving in mountains.It cleared up from Billings to Missoula and averaged 8.9 only to hit more wind. Most of it was 10-15 mph and I made it around Seattle area with a whopping 7.4 MPG. What a disappointment since it had great potential on if not for the wind. Then took a load going to TX and will be heading back to KCMO from that area. I have hit wind all day yesterday and today heading through the mountains to Fort Worth area. This leg so far is at a whopping 7.1 but will gain now I am finally on I40 now and have about 650 miles left to drive. This load is 38500.

Load going to Kansas City MO is going to be 25K I think if I remember correctly. It should be better if I can ever get out of this #### wind. I swear no matter what way I drive on this trip I am driving into the wind and up mountains. ha ha

 

Well no reason to worry about it I guess if it cost that much. Might as well order you a new one and get put on a list somewhere. Glad you are still in the game regardless.

 

Well I made it to deliver this load in TX and Managed to get back to a 7.5MPG on this trip from WA. Also I am at 7.5 MPG for the whole trip so far. Today was the only day that it did not blow wind from hell it seemed like. I bet I got close to 10 MPG since this morning to here. Hopeful will have some decent results for tomorrow load.

On a side note I figured I would run out of hours before I took this last load home and I did. Gonna have a little over 2 hours left tomorrow and it is about an 8 hour drive. Luckily I get my hours back at midnight. Unlucky because stupid rules will make me have to drive at night for no reason other than rules. I would rather drive in the day when I am fresh since I can hardly sleep during the day. UGGGGGGG FFFFFFING REGS SUCK!!!!!!!! When it comes to common sense.

 

Always can wait till next year when a lot of newer trucks will be for sale at a good price as well. If putting in an order for new just remember it is a year out still on most trucks. I am sure you know that.

 

I doubt they come down to much on time. Think about it. A lot of Big fleets put stuff on hold during covid. Then they could only order so many this year and now they are just getting the orders in before the new EPA laws kick in. So I would think next year it will be about the same thing until 24 I think.
