    I'm a softy when it comes to driving at night. I'll stop when the sun goes down, if time warrants it. I also like to wake up early as opposed to driving into the night. I like there to be some daylight at the end of my day. But its pretty hard to avoid the night altogether.

    That YouTube video says so as well, haha! Glad to hear things are going well for you and all the other Manumites as well.

    I like driving nights in the summer when the sky's clear and the sun's out.

    They look to weird to me. Plus it says it has a range of "300 or 500" miles. I wonder how long it takes to charge.

    But I do think the Mack Anthem is pretty sweet!

    I drive nights when needed and by nights I mean from sunset thru the night. Typically I try to start out about 3 to 4am but appointments dictate that. If I'm an hour away from my customer and the appointment is for 1000, I'll start my drive to make it by 0930. Time management... You'd be surprised how many try to keep to a set schedule and then wonder why they have little drive time left!

    I heard about the steakhouse at Spiceland!! I'll stop by there and check it out. Delivered today at Kernersville and pick up Sat morning for Brooklyn center for Monday. As soon as I got those times, shot a msg to Shannon and within 5 min, she called me with a load out of Gaylord going to GFS Springfield OH for Wed. First time to talk to her! She seems to have her stuff together!! Now if Stan can work some magic so I'm not sitting over turkey day, that'll be good. Expecting a Coke load to MN or ND and see where to after that. Been running as good as I can while I can and planning on 3 or 4 days off between the Holidays. Like Zata, I'm trying to get my big miles in early in the trimester then when I think my average is high enough, take more time off in the last 6 weeks or so of the trimester. If I can average $.47 or .48, I'll be a happy driver. $.50 would be very cool but like @ncmikey has said, time off is important, too. I'll be at CR Sun evening and planning on eating Outback or Mexican... If anyone's around, let's make it a Magnum table. First round's on me!

    Saw one yesterday. They aren’t as ugly going down the road as they are in the pictures if that makes any sense.

    What kind of inverters are in your trucks? Trying to figure out how to cook food without a bunch of crazy stuff.

    Do you mean what size, as in how many watts? I thought somewhere in here it said 1500 watts.
