Prime NOOB

Work on it some more. Hint. Right after you fuel up, the ECM is showing your close-to-instantaneous fuel consumption. Look at the sensortracks page on the QualComm... it has a fuel used counter.

Slow down... if you don't need the speed to make an appointment, then you're probably going too fast.

 

Been using your pointers on mileage. definitely helping

 

Just some of the stuff I've noticed...

Deadhead miles are a gift... always take them slow as you can to pad your mileage.

Don't accelerate up hills.

Don't let your cruise power you down a hill... use gravity as much as possible.

Never run a load heavy on the tandems - if you're going to Cali go tandem-heavy at the border.

TIRE PRESSURE!

 

Ran empty from lower Mass to Easton ME today. Got 9.6 all day

 

Yup... and it makes the loaded parts of the run much easier to deal with. Especially helps with stuff like a 45,000 lb load over the mountains of PA - or something like that.

 

25,000 lbs of Garlic Spread in a Eco49. 62mph. Albert Lea MN to Western Nebraska. 7.95mpg

I usually run 55 but I need to make CHDSLC tommorow to have a chance to deliver this early in Sacramento Monday night. Im looking at win win here if I can pull it off. Miles on this weeks check, and start my vacation week off early.

 

Dropped and hooked in Carson a few hrs ago, about 6 hours earlier then our appt. Sitting at the T/A in Ontario waiting to load in Colton in the AM for Sterling, IL.

 

Hate to end up in a confined space for hours with that guy..
