Got a load from Wabash IN to Hastings NE.Right at 800 miles.Does'nt deliver till mon. morning 1100.So it's going to be another 2200 mile week.Only had 1 load in the last 2 weeks under 40k.It's killing my fuel milage average.Drove 61mph to Walcott IA fri. afternoon,had a little head wind,and I averaged 6.9.Load is 44k,so I hope my mpg's stay the same pulling the hills across IA.Hung out in Grandma's grille last night,met some cool people and had alot of fun.Might go ahead and do it again tonight and get a 34 in.Maybe I'll get lucky and catch some good loads next week,so I might as well have fresh hours.

Hey Bigkid thanks for the info man! You dont learn these things until you get used to being at these different shippers and recievers,unless someone like yourself helps another guy out.Thanks Again.

Well,did like Bigkid said and got to Hastings sun. night,backed in the dock and woke up at 0700 when the guy started unloading my trailer.Actually got a preplan before I left Walcott.Load picking up back in Des Moines going to Bedford PA for wed.0800.291 miles empty 887 loaded.Best load I've gotten in a long time.Going to hit up dispatch for a preplan out of PA for wed. morning,so I might end up with a decent week.

Wow,got woke up this morning with a preplan for wed. am going from PA. to Memphis TN.Around 800 miles,delivers fri 0700.Maybe things are picking up.Sitting in the t/a at Morris IL. this morning,getting ready to leave.Going to take the toll roads even though I'll have to pay for IN and OH.They're route takes me through to many towns and stop and go traffic.I can make up the cost by cruising along around 60 mph down the turnpikes.I got 40k on and all that stopping and going kills my fuel milage,plus alot of time wasted."Got 600 miles to ride and do one more show".Getting 8.3 mpg right now because of the long deadhead.Really got to work on myself,to slow down and make money off of fuel milage not just miles.
