    Might have been a lease guy. Or on a downhill. Or else there are now speed bonuses I don't know about.

    Ask Phredd.

    Phredd said if it looked that fast, it must be headed West Bound.

    Just out of curiosity, do you plan your own routes, or does Gordon send you a route and/or fuel "plan"?

    Wonder how long it will take for this thread to reach 1000 pages? Or 500? No wagering please.

    They send fuel stops, but routing is sent only on request. Also the fuel stops are a little more fluid than other places I've worked; if it makes no sense or is too far, I only need to let Dispatch know and they'll re-optimize the fuel stops. If necessary they can also open the comdata card.
