    sorry for the delay. Well I am glad I chose to stay out an extra month with my trainer. We got a load from Detriot to the coast in washington. Great scenery and the drive was challenging in the winter department. Being from FL and never driven a car in the snow it was good to have this opportunity. In Montana we had high winds. In West Montana and the panhandle of Idaho I had mountains with ice and snow. No chains but slow careful driving did the trick. On the way out to SLC we had heavy snow hard to see but again slow and careful was the trick.

    On monday I will be in springmo for upgrade and I am so happy. I think last time on I was talking in one of the threads about our fuel plan. We came in the week at .032 a mile which was .13 lower than the fleet. It saved us 600 bucks for the week so it goes to show that buying it right and using it right pays off big.

    I am ready for a little solo driving but I like the pace of team. But ready to have a little space and sleep when not moving though that is not an issue.

    I was listening to road dog this am and a guy called in with the handle Ironpony. He was from denver and had ties in mo. Could it be our ip? If so it was nice to hear a voice from the thread.
    parked at SLC had a load in ID headed to FL. By teaming it to SPringmo trainer can get it to FL and have a great beginning to next week.

    talk at ya soon
     
    Mudrunner Thanks this.
