    that's a #### good number.

    just finished my monthlies........best week for july was 8.3 and month average ended up at 7.77 mpg on 14,550 miles and 35 loads.

    the miles make the month look better than what it really was but given the fact it was a 4.5 week month and 5 paydays that number actually works out to only 2910/week average for the month on the number of days out. still in line with jun-aug being our slow months. one more to go. by end of this month and school starting back we should start running wide open again and i'll get that week avg back up over 3k where it's supposed to be

    Well... I have a bunch of tangerines or clementines and some other easy to eat fruits right next to my seat... Interestingly, tangerines wake me up better than any other fruit... :biggrin_25519:
    Well... good thing I didn't call you... if I did, I would have waken you up from your nap... and I doubt my call would be better than a nap...

    :biggrin_2559: sure... :biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559:

    FM.... you are a FREAKING HARD HARD worker... man... :yes2557: I take my hat off for you... but I would never do what you do for any kind of money... :biggrin_25512: too much hard work, too much stress, to much rush rush... :biggrin_25523: too many difficult places...

    Actually, I could be making much more money in another company... but many things that my company offers are more important than money... for me... :biggrin_25519:

    Our truck is a 2016 Cascadia Evolution. The only reason we do good with mpg is cause most loads are under 15,000lbs.

    The best thing for staying awake is sleep. Drink 2-3 diet Monster energy drinks. Sometimes 5 Hour Extra Strength. Try to eat around 1am so I have something to do during those early hours. All else fails then a power nap at a rest area.

    I take Melatonin to help sleep in a moving truck.

    I rolled all night last night. Even though All I had to do was 6 hours. But I wasn't able to sleep yesterday. I think I only got maybe 3 hours. I just wanted to get past Vegas and I could stop after that if got tired. But I was able to make it with no problem with the help of that last sugar rush from that blow pop and some good music.

    lol I just make it look that way ms rocks hehehe my days of working hard are over. I'm not going to work THAT hard given that I don't really have to be out here.

    I can only rush so much at 65mph lol I just roll steady and don't waste time and manage my clock better than those who are supposed to be 'managing' me lol

    besides......somewhere I'm still terrified my daddy might be looking over my shoulder and ready to whip my ### for not doing my job the way I was taught to hahaha

    I will give you the tight places and difficult situations to put the truck in.....we sure have plenty of those.
