2. 14 months one 660? #### man, your lease must be like what? $475-500 now? No wonder your cpms are high.
I've gotten a brand new T700 for last 6 months or so coz my old Pete was breaking my maintenance acct. So I figured if I get a new one, I'll save in a long run even though the lease was ~$70/wk more. WRONG! New trucks break down too. In the end of my lease I was lucky to get ~$900 bucks back from my maintenance acct.
I was considering WSE, Heartland, CCC and a few others.
I came across Heyl by accident while researching different companies. I've had no idea they have terminal here in Zephyrhills. -
I'm in. Going to orientation tomorrow. On the road Friday. Maybe. Hopefully.

Just fyi. I started with Heyl last Saturday. In 8 days I drove 4300 miles.
Even with driving 65 ALL the time, my fuel mileage average is 7.6 (Cascadia with Detroit) so I'm eligible for + 0.02 fuel bonus. $1591 on first paycheck.
I don't know what it is about those Stevens trucks that I could never achieve such mpgs. And I'm not doing anything different. -
When Paccar found out Stevens was considering a large order (100+) of the trucks, they said, "Wait!, lets try some of OUR trucks with the Detroits."
We are just receiving some Petes, I understand, with that new Detroit. I had been bothering Cat for a Coumbia with the DD, but Alliance doesn't get those. Friday she left me a message, "getting a few Petes with the Detroit...interested?"
So we'll see what happens. -
Had the gear splitter installed on my truck while home this past week. Now have half gears between upper range. Haven't really had much chance to use it. Played with it some as I went over mountains from San Diego to Imperial Valley.
Should be interesting to see how that works when I climb Tehachapi.
Decided not to tune the engine up for HP. Too tempting, then.
Had them set speed for 65 so I'm still Canada legal.
