    Good to see they are keeping you moving, even with a day here and there layover. This time of year that is almost expected especially getting out of SoCal. You're driving a Cascadia right? What mpg do you think you are getting?

    I'm getting between 6.5 and 7.2... usually the 6.5 with the heavier loads

    I assume you made it out of there before the worst of the weather started? I'm lucky. Only going as far east of Springfield, MO

    Nope, Sitting right in the middle of it. Didn't get out of the shippers and hit the road till 1400. Which was good cause I was only there 1.5 hrs and the appt wasn't until 1500. Went about 30 miles south on I-81 and the road started to get white. I needed fuel any way so I pulled off at the pilot at exit 213. Fueled up and parked it. Told the FM we have time on this load so I wasn't pushing it.

    Thanks GL. i have enjoyed what Looney and Kabar have to say about Martin. I know a former Martin driver on another forum who was terminated for cause, and he still has some good things to say about them.
