    Possibly. The industry average is approx $150/ day (at least that's what it was when I got hit).
    Keep in mind thai the truck payment and all other fixed costs don't stop. You will still owe that. Considering that most states allow 2 years to settle (sometimes 3 years) you probably won't sr that money anytime soon.

    Now, JCT will provide you with a rental truck free of charge. Any revenue generated while in it goes towards your financial liabilities to JCT. The variable payment will go towards YOUR truck. Any fuel bought for the rental stays in thai truck so don't turn it in full of fuel.

    Ok. The mpg on the trip screen is taking an empty trailer from Sapulpa to Pottsville, AR then bobtail to Sapulpa, then bobtail to Dallas, then empty to trailer to current location of Tyler, TX. All with moderate crosswinds and headwinds. Cruising speed ranging from 60 - 70 mph.

    The leg screen is only from Dallas to Tyler with an empty trailer. Crusing speed was 60 mph for the leg.

    Both trailers have the side skirt. The speed is an average.

    I will be taking a loaded trailer tomorrow from Fort Worth. So, I will reset the leg counter for that. The trip will only be reset between fueling.

    I've gotten every flavor there before for the wife and kids to try. They weren't crazy about any of them, but it was fun to try.

    On another note, gotta love it when you have to call Settlements because you put your previous truck in the Transflo instead of the new truck number.
