    I'm with you jarhed1964 - My policy has almost doubled, the deductible did more than double (from $1,000 to $2,500) but now I get so called "free" birth control. Aren't I a lucky guy at 56, I can't believe I wanted so long to get it, what have I been missing all these years?:biggrin_2551:

    I'd say you were getting pretty light! I hope it was at a good price! Like Sharpp Preaches "Why spend it on the expensive fuel when you can get it cheap the next state over?" I have this ingrained in my mind!
    I hope you guys are staying off of the slippery spots and out of the snow and slush!

    Drive safe!

    There was a lot of winter around the country today. Chains were required on Meacham in Oregon until late morning. Wyoming had it's usual I-80 mess extending into Nebraska. Fortunately for me I was cruising south like a spring breaker. Flying through balmy Atlanta on the way to the Florida sunshine. . . NOT! The scene on I-75 and I-285 reminded my of "Zombieland". There was mile after mile of abandoned cars and school buses lining the shoulder. The four lane traffic squeezed into three every time there was a speck of ice anywhere, and we barreled along at speeds unenviable even to the Amish. In other words, Atlanta was pretty much the same as always!

    My appointment was rescheduled to tomorrow at 17:30. Bless you! I almost ran out the clock just getting to Valdosta today. I pick up over 10 hours tomorrow, and an easy day will bank enough for me to get back to 40 hrs available for the next 4 days. If my history is any indication, I'll get a pre-plan picking up in Bradenton and going to Texas. I really would like to break that pattern just for the novelty of it all. However, staying down south does have it's benefits!

    I'd really like to keep this thread apolitical. There are plenty of politics threads on here and if there isn't a medical insurance thread, then there should be. If you have any off-topic questions for me, you'll have to check my profile. I can't send or receive PM's or post my email address on here, but I'm happy to respond if you can figure out how to get hold of me, lol. Meanwhile, I'll be in the Denny's at the Lake Park, GA Flying J.

    You're my hero! I pumped 207 once, and I was puckered up the last 20 miles sure I was going to run out of fuel!

    What is the typical amount of fuel that those truck can hold? Or worded differently and probably correctly, How much does those trucks tanks hold?

    Well today has been an easy day after spending the night waiting on Tyson to load trailer got out of there and started running west. Made it all the way out to Santa Rosa, NM counting running to motel and back to terminal then to Tulsa TK then off to Noel, MO I have avg 6.4 mpg so far with a 78k load and a unfriendly wind and hills. So I am sure when I get used to this truck and get that ScangaugeD I will be hitting closer to everyone else's numbers.
    Not sure about all of the trucks but mine has dual 120 gal tanks
