    Well, I did 70 mph, got 6.96 mpg for 2 months. Then I did 60 mph, got 7.38 mpg for December. Doing 64 mph this month. Will update mpg In Feb.

    Do you really believe you could have gotten 72 mpg (7.2 x 10) if the loads were lighter? I get the fact lighter loads equal better fuel mileage but saying you could get 10 times better fuel mileage is fabrication, simply for shock value. On the other hand, to claim if the loads were lighter it would be possible to get 30%-50% more fuel mileage would be a legitimate claim (9.36 to 10.8 mpg).

    Gawd, I'm so old. Had to look that up.

    But at least I did understand the obvious exaggeration.

    They just need to verify one of my past employers, and then they'll be ready to give me an orientation date. I don't have any previous experience pulling a refer, but after seeing enough dented refer units I can guess you can't jack knife that trailer too hard when backing into a dock. Are the docks at JCTs customer's decent, or will I be riding the razors edge on a 90 degree back while trying not to fold it too tight?

    Most of our docks are easy. There are a few pos places but few and far between.

    Not true. You can modify. But if you turn it in they want it back how they gave it to you or you will pay for them the cost to have it return to its original state

    Or things like brackets can remain in the truck when turned in as to not having to fill in holes...

    Yes, it was an obvious exaggeration but there is no point in it when you can be accurate just as easily.

    My philosophy is "Say what you mean, mean what you say, and do what you say you will do. If you can't do that, you have lost your integrity."

    When you loose your integrity, everything becomes justifiably questionable. For example, you (the hypothetical you) exaggerated and said this, but you really meant that. Now you said this. Did you really mean that or did you, again, mean something else?
