Knight drivers....What's your 20?

Also, one of my last runs was Bud load to the Budweiser Golden Eagle Distributor in Tucson, where I was the 'lone' Knight truck among 4 Biagi's. I commented about them having to always carry heavy loads and they said no prob since their green, new-style Pete's had 525 hp engines.

When I started w/Knight they had all 365-375 hp Centurys which had to be geared way down on hills with heavy loads. Even then, I had a couple overheat going up 2 of the 3 long hills west of the AZ/CA border on I40 toward Barstow during the summer! When Knight went to Volvos, think the hp's were around 400-420 hp, which was more acceptable. B4 working at Knight, I drove 475 hp FLD's and there was a big difference when stepping down to the Centurys & driving for Knight!!

Also got passed by Biagi's all the time in my 66 mph truck; so either ungoverned or governed 'high' (70 mph?)

 

Jax drop yard. Too much BS today. I will never get a reset at home with Knight. Even when logically it would be appropriate.

as far as DMs im probaly on My 3rd 1ne this year...

 

Moved my reset over to the TA just west of Jax, Fl. 2nd DM for me. 1st one is now the Terminal Manager at Olive Branch.

 

Why don't you get a room somewhere, and just forget trucking for a day or so? I NEVER do a reset sitting in a truckstop, it would drive me crazy, too. $50-$100, big deal if you are running hard enough to do a reset, IMHO.
