    nice seeing you also IP

    well got my 1st CAT load as a solo one engine and 3 crates the engine alone weighs 44k...exciting...this is the only time i wish i had a step deck bc this thing is top heavy did good on tell them where to put it on the trlr got 32k on the drives and 33k on the trlr maybe thatll help with the crappy mpg im going to get on this load

    i know about not getting good mpg ORD mine has been in the hole for 3wks now but not bad worst one was 6.69 for the wk ive had better best wk was 8.1

    If you can get it loaded right. Sometimes you have no choice. Like the load I got now. Its the full length of the trailer.
