THE ADVENTURES CONTINUE - DFO gets a truck and hops on Schneider's IC Choice Program

True but it's not about looks it's about mpg today.

 

yes it has a tri pac and I believe it has steering wheel controls ask dogal's right foot he has one.

 

Mine also had a nice inverter installed too. Didn't come with a fridge though. Since I'm only leasing and not buying, the Kenworth is what I'll likely be shooting for next time, although the Volvo that they had on display at GATS was REALLY nice inside.


EDIT: On the 5th wheel release, I just realized that you might've been referring to a release for the locking jaws themselves. Mine does not have that. The thing I was thinking of what the release for the sliding 5th wheel. My bad

 

Woohoo, I am officially official, got my logos done finally!

And check out THIS trip plan for the next 5 days, heh heh...

Dallas, TX to Pauls Valley, OK
Oklahoma City, OK to Jenks, OK
Jenks OK, to New Century, KS
Junction City, KS to Mesquite, TX
Roanoke, TX to Duncan, OK
Roanoke, TX to Duncan, OK
Oklahoma City, OK to New Braunfels, TX
San Antonio, TX to Temple, TX

The Roanoke load paid so well I decided to do it twice

 

I would love to have that Lonestar. That is exactly what my wife and I want. She still has to get in her 3 months as a company driver before we start looking for another truck.

 

I love the looks of the Lonestar, too! Also, it comes with the Cummins, so DFO could work on it for me. Right, DFO??

 

Wow u really set up that far along? Seems to b asking for trouble I can see 3 days but dang.

 

Captain haven't seen you around here in a while, was getting a little worried. Hopefully you've just been busy making $$ lately?

 

Normally I don't ever plan that far ahead in advance, I'm doing a trial run of sorts. All of those loads are drop and hook, so there shouldn't be any delays at the customers (in theory) and a lot of it will be night driving, so I'm hoping to avoid traffic. I'll let you guys know how well it works out or if I'm getting a griping from my ICA three days from now LOL.

 

Yeah, just been keeping busy for the most part. I'm doing a lot better on fuel expenses and income by focusing on the shorter loads. Now I'm waiting to see what happens with the truck payment for next week... the lease documents stated that there were 48 payments a year, and this is the first month that has 5 paydays in it, I'm hoping I'll have a week without a truck payment. If not, I'll still be in good shape, but that would be a nice chunk of change to throw into the savings account.
