    I like a very strong coffee flavor without the slight floral chicory-ness of the 8 o'clock regular blend.

    Later in the day I like a smoother, less strong coffee. I'll have to give that Peet's a try.

    And maybe it's just me, but regular Starbucks has a faint aroma of cat piss. I can't get past the first sip.

    Coffee like many other things is very objective. Based on Dave's post I bought a bag of Peets' House Blend this morning but don't like it. Too strong for me. I've been on a mission this week looking for something new. I usually buy Starbucks house blend but it's not consistent. Seems like a crap shoot these past few months.

    Peet's is strong, but smother than Starbuck's. Buck's is a little bitter, and Peet's doesn't have the hint of litter box flora lmao.
    But I like any coffee. I mean I can drink the 2 day old stuff out of a machine. Starbuck's Sumatra is would be my second choice. Eight O'clock is the staple though, Aside from Hi_Rev at the T/S's.

    @tucker Arby's is making a venison sandwich. I doubt they are as good as a fresh road kill slapped on some bread.

    Well its Arby's so I'm sure its probably processed doe's left over from last years hunting season.
    Your getting 300 mile trips because you have failed to properly train your D/M. You need to start having some type of catastrophic problems delivering these loads, and you won't get them anymore. Problems navigating usually will do it, hence you will start to get the 1800 mile dummy loads that require little navigation.
    You are a strong driver, hence you must be punished. If you show yourself to be a weak driver, you will be rewarded with two trips a week @ 1500 miles a trip, probably drop and hook, same place to same place.
