    A little up date..... Yesterday after spending 6 1/2 waiting to be loaded to 77.8k I was able to barely make it down to a casino on US 95 and no I don't know the name of it. (But it did have a Denny's in it.) I was able to bring mpg back up to 6.5. Then took off this morning and they had done their little QC reset on me and when I stopped tonight I was at a surprising 8.1mpg. So if anyone is around Milan, NM Petro you will see me inside. LoL For those that are still in that nasty white stuff be careful and most of all be safe.

    Up on this neck of the woods - I've been doing I15 and I84 pretty regular this week - it's not semis in the ditch, though there been one or two. It's guys with full-size pickups who think the laws of physics don't apply to them. They do.

    Camaro355 If I'm not mistaken, I think they do a reset on the QC every Tuesday, I may be mistaken but I think I remember hearing that!

    They give you lunch and hotel room and they have a decent breakfast that you can get for free. When I drove from STL the reimbursed me for the cost in gas on the way down.

    JCT will reimburse you for your travel up to the expense of a bus ticket. I was able to fly from Vegas and get 100% reimbursement. They pay for your motel room (single, no roommate) during orientation as well as a cab from the airport if needed.
