Running With Schneider!

Unbelievable! what a nightmare! Hope the city can recover and make a better place for those schools. But what do I know? Just think something more sufficient could be available for those kids going to school right in line of fire where major tornadoes have proven to hit.

 

Geezz hope he can stay clear. Another good thing about choice is having the means to route yourself. I can typically stay clear of the bad weather. Not always but most of the time.

 

Not sure what you mean? Think your referring to data we use to access load board. We can access web through Qualcomm if there is free wifi around. I never use the qualcomm for internet but is nice to have for back up. personally I use verizon hot spot for all my internet access. That runs me about $75.00 a month for 12g. All is a tax write off for us O/O including the phones and internet at home.

 

Thanks! Good luck on your venture, We will be here if you need any help along the way or as a resource for information.

 

Rolling on! Made it to my pick up last night and spent the night there in Mobile AL. Grabbed the load (loaded with new trailer a TA143 woohoo!) this morning and started this trip to Red Bluff Cali.
Qualcomm navigation wanted to head up to the I-40 and go across that way. Nooo wayyy! With all that is going on up there in Oklahoma decided to stay on I-10 and run across the south to I-5 on up to Red Bluff that way. It's about 70 miles more but is a faster route in my opinion and google maps thinks it is faster too.

In Baytown TX now. Made it about 450 miles in 8 hours. Not great, but the next few days should prove to be more productive. Plus I have to manage my hours to keep my clock going so will only do 8 hours a day for next few days.

This load is fairly light, route is mostly flat. My fuel mpg now is 7.3 will do well on fuel cost! Cha Ching!!

Flat land and light loads works wonders for your over all fuel mpg. Reducing speed helps a little but not much in my opinion! My overall speed varies. Probably average about 63 or 64. Running across TX will bump that up a bit!

 

No.. no fridge.

Installed 1500 watt inverter and bought a mini fridge/freezer from wal-mart. Having a fridge with a freezer you can pretty much keep food and eat like at home. Will then cook the food in one of those little lunch box stoves. Works pretty good. Takes about 1/2 hr to cook.
