Landstar So Far

Cruising speed is about 58 or 59 through California & Oregon. 60ish in Washington. 60ish in Arizona, except I'll run it at about 65 ( 1500 rpm ), for an hour or so each way to blow out the DPF.

Like I preach, the art of the roll is a huge factor. There's stretches of many, many miles I'm on the Jake to keep it under 60.

Last trip some dude from " Alien " ( no BS ), went by me between Stockton & Sacramento probably doing 65. Bear had him like 10 miles up the highway.

The time is built in the loads. And I almost always plan 2 or 3 in a row, so there's no need to rush.

I mean I'll let it roll up to 75 in AZ, NM, UT when I can, but that's using inertia & Sir Isaac Newton power.

 

Yea, that guy is a little bit stoned out of his mind.

 

What an awesome day to be an American.

 

There are now at least two other BCO's with trucks exactly like mine. This is emotionally & psychologically troubling.

 

They are old Gordon trucks that were sold off by Gordon. They are designed specifically for the west coast, and mountains. There are thousands running around out here, driven by O/O's to companies with a 100 trucks.
