    might want to add a second load lock just to be safe. Would hate to see you flip on the highway because the load shifted

    It would be a #### shame if that still wound up taking hours to get rid of.

    Calling it now spends 5 hours in a door at the consignee to get unloaded

    But it reminds me when I had to haul this. Had to slide my tandems to make sure I wasn't overweight on the drives. Still had to dodge scale houses from Chicago to Omaha

    On a serious note, it begs the question of why customers decide to ship stuff like this in a 53' van or reefer vs more sensible modes of transport

    Sounds like more mega carrier BS.

    Not mine, I can still go 4.5 mph (according to the GPS) without it going to drive. It is switching to drive at or above 5 now like it should right away. Before I would be pulling out of a parking spot and rolling across the lot at 9 or 10 a good while before it finally decided to change.

    Well, hopefully this lastest go-round with dispatch about miles lit a fire under Op's butt and they keep the ball rolling. It felt good to push 640-660 miles a day again...that was until I got a touch of food poisoning(from my own cooking). Woke up in Rawlins Sunday night and had to toss my cookies multiple times. I was originally gonna leave at around 2 am, but ended up laying there until almost 6 to make sure I was done with the "calling of the dinosaurs" and safe/legal to roll without having to worry about having to hit the shoulder to launch another barrage. Still managed to turn 662 miles and I made it to Huntington like I planned. However, after parking and a brief pottie break, I went straight to bed and didn't wake up until 4.
