    More power to you. Feels like my motor is lagging when I go that slow in 10th. The RPM's are too high in 9th at that speed. My truck likes 62-63mph.

    Keep it between 1250-1300 rpm regardless of the speed

    NOT A GOOD DAY AT ALL!

    -Woken up around midnight by emergency alerts on phone in Rogers, AR
    -5 minutes later, tornado sirens start going off.
    -5 minutes after that, head to shelter at Tyson
    -Heavy winds, rain and hail follow.
    -1 hour later head back to truck after the all clear.
    -Tyson notified me load was ready several hours later.
    -Can't hook to trailer cuz it's literally 3 inches from they trailer next to it and cracked all the way up.
    -Have to wait almost 2 hours for yard dog cuz they are all off until 7 a.m.
    -82000 gross, 38000 on trailer tandems, 31000 on drives. SMDH
    -2.5 hours later and finally rolling
    -Find out my DM got fired this morning

    What next?

    @ 63mph my rpm is 1225. So, I'm pretty good with that. I don't like running up against the governor for the slightly higher rpm as that leaves no power in reserve.

    That was eventful. Glad everyone was safe.
     
    Steel Tiger Thanks this.
