Sounds like something I went thru the other day in Lebanon tn and throw in some hills and curvy roads

Well, today is gonna suck. I got a preassignment for after I'm done getting unloaded here. I get to go pick up a relayed load at the Portland OC and take it up to chehalis wa. Appointment isn't until 20:30 for delivery and its only a 85 mile run...... I'd rather sit all day then waste my time with this ####

 

Looks like you guys run in PA a lot... this is probably my 2nd time here... going from Brunswick/Cleveland area to Cranbury/Trenton, NJ... I76 or I80? I'm at 78k.

Last time I was on i76 going west, it sucked with 70k... so I'm guessing i80?

 

Wow, actually had 3 preassignments earlier. First one is Portland OC to Chehalis WA, then I deadhead back to the Portland OC and pick up a relayed Walmart load that has 2 stops delivering tomorrow afternoon. I'll get to spend tonight at home. Last Walmart stop is in Springfield OR. I then pick up a load in Springfield that goes down to Buckeye AZ.

 

So I went to wingfoot to change 4 drive tires... 3.5 hrs later, 10 brand new tires

It looks like I picked up 1.2-1.3mph at top speed now and the ride is amazing...

 

Averaging 7.9 MPG this week with my foot on the floor and 35 in the box. St Louis-Charlotte-Clinton, SC- St James, MO. All with a new Great Dane trailer. Those pull nice.

 

No idea where I'm at for mpg, computer is way off/broken. I'm just happy I can do over 65mph with that extra 1.2mph.

 

Does schneider get pissy if we floor it to 65 all the time. I don't even try for the bonus any more and it sucks being stuck at 60 with the cruise in states with 65+ speed limits.

Do they get pissy if we have a very high overspeed percentage is what I'm going at.

 

they get extremely pissy my buddy got fired over that told him he was a unsafe driver when flooring it how do you overspeed doin 65 in a 70, but i do understand the fuel cost and what not but doin 60 all the time cuts it close, but sad to say to all of you this is my last week with schneider they have had me on medical leave for 5 weeks due to surgery that failed been ready to go back to work for about 3 weeks now occupational health is playing games with my medical release and i cant take much more of it so i am moving on been great working with you all and i wish you all much luck with schneider figure i have enough experiance to find something local wish me luck everyone, i will still be on here talkin to you all later

 

I thought 62,63 was the max speed on solo trucks but we are only supposed to do 60 and team trucks can do 65
