Running with JCT, Part Deux

Well, I now have a reason to use Loves more often. The Graphic Audio books are buy 3 get 1 free. So, I will be using points to heavily expand my collection of the Deathlands series this month and next.

 

One thing to keep in mind with the 95/route 66 bypass of the the hill over needles. When it does rain out there use common sense about using it, every one of those dips turn into water spill ways and sand/mud slides.

 

Just my experience on how to be successful at JCT.
1. Time management. You stated you were going to have 24 hours to sit, then make sure you pair that up with your break whenever possible to give yourself the restart. Better to empty out with as many hours available. In an ideal situation you with 60 plus hours available would be easier to plan on a long run then if you never got the restart and had less hours.
2. Fuel Management. Regardless of what mileage and speed you maintain you will burn fuel. The trick is to do your homework and buy as much of that fuel for the lowest price period.
3. Maintain your truck. Take care of it, and it will take care of you!

 

Has anybody been to Hilti in Woodinville, WA? Looks kind of small.

 

Yes, it is tight. Doable, but be extra careful, especially if there are trucks on front of you. They are usually super slow

 

Going to be at yard this afternoon, if anyone else is gonna be there.

Less than 1 month left in this truck and alternator on APU goes out. FML

 

Well, not today, had a 0830 appt, already empty. And they just cancelled the preplan I got yesterday and I have 4 hours left on my 14, what to do what to do? Ha ha

 

I think it takes 4 hours to just get out of Seattle... lol

 

I saw a new white freightliner with the new trucks there on Friday. With a tk apu, thought it might be yours..

 

Shouldn't be. Mine is due 1st week of June. It's a little different than the other white ones
