From Day One - Abilene Motor Express (Richmond, Wytheville, VA)

Not that bad if you ask me. What kind of mileage you getting with the D13?? Hows the performance. Sorry to ask soo many questions.

KH

 

Need some advice on routing/timing. Have a load from the yard to Trumbull CT delivering by noon Monday and 8 pm in East Lyme CT. I'm pretty much going to be on I95 North, I think. Any advice on timing and where to stop for my breaks? I have not ever been up that way. Thanks in advance!

 

once you get north of new york there are very few TS just a few rest areas in conn and secondi brothers at exit 40
but you need to get up there and take a 10 break before trumball or you will be over your 14 before you get to second stop i am thinking

 

That's what I was thinking. I am picking up a load out of Canon in Newport News and dropping it on the yard and then picking up that load. I figured there weren't too many places up there. I think I am going to see if I can take my break at the consignee. Might just have to drive at night, take my break at first stop and then go on to 2nd with a fresh 14.

 

well you will make better time running 95 at night anyway
there are always trucks parked on the street at every industrial park in new england
everyone finds a few hidey holes if they go up there enough

rest areas have plenty of people pounding on your doors lookin for a handout
just lock yourself in your not down south

 

No 44,400 was total weight of empty truck & trailer

 

I'm usually @ 6.5 mpg performance is great volvo are I-shift 12 speed automatics

 

well i typically pu loads at budweiser in a reefer that weigh 44000 so your dry box weighs 10000 more
i dont think so
i cant wait to get out of transam and over with you guys
despite all rebelchicks problems

 

Lol Yea Pete u might be right I may have been thinking bout the loaded ticket instead of empty. I think u may enjoy it here

 

i been out a month running on recap for 3 weeks and have 30 hours today
so it can't be worse.........sigh

just a few things to button up hope to be there 5/13
