    The ones I've seen the last couple years are hauling mulch/bagged soil, etc.

    Yeah, I just had an A service done and after t-calling the next load is when my DEF filter plugged, so unless there was a nationwide issue with bad DEF contamination, we both had the same issue. I have around 260k miles on this unit.

    T-1 and R-1 services pop up a lot, but never when I have time on the load, or am near a shop to get one done.

    Did that last week. I averaged 49mph total. Did ok in between hills but the big ones bogged me down pretty good. Also traffic west of Denver slowed me up.

    Looks like Cheyenne DC has slightly longer runs than Mankato DC.

    Mankato - 998mi
    Cheyenne - 1058mi

    Might even be longer runs.

    At my pay including the extra. 06 for helping out. That's a nice $770 run. Wouldn't mind more of them than just the normal 400mi ones I've gotten. Probably will be last one since that makes 1 week here.

    Mankato ran all of Minnesota.

    East side of North and South Dakota.

    West side of Wisconsin.

    Most of Iowa.

    And just down into Omaha for Nebraska.


    Longest run from that DC was 998mi and it is to the Bismark Sam's in North Dakato.
