    I probably had a brain fart about the whole line 5 deal, I use it quite a bit to go find a hiding hole once I'm MT. That's how it usually is # Elizabeth, high speed low drag! You just have to watch Cloverleaf loading you though, sometimes they gett carried away & overload you. The last couple of times I've loaded there I was over 81 G's on my first weigh. I am making my delivery in Lincoln & once I am done here I am officially on vacation until next Monday! You guys be safe & I'll talk to you when I get back from paradise!

    I'm about to start a "will not haul" list, with Kroger Cincinatti and Tyson Holcomb on the top! These Monday night AZ Newark to Groveport, Cincinatti to Goddard, Holcomb to anywhere weeks are killing me!

    Don't mean to whine, but even criminals get to sleep at night and shower in the morning!

    Just depends on who they're showering with that might make that an unattractive proposition.

    Well friends I'm doing my first pickup in Enid, OK tomorrow and I'm headed to Front Royal. Probably run into some of you next week once I get there.

    So many routing options! I'm thinking 44 to 70 (less idling). But 44/64 and 40/81 are also viable options.

    412 into 44 to 70 without a dobut... unless you got time to kill and you really want to take your time then go ahead but i think them other two options are way out the way... my personal opinion

    Brian,

    Sounds like a good run, I'm not familiar with the route so I won't comment.
    On another topic, I got in this afternoon and wrote up the Pete for a vibration coming from the tranny, went to Eddie's:biggrin_2556:and after a ride with Allen they determined that the syncros in the tranny are going, so off to Volvo Monday, not sure about Sat. for an evaulation?

    Be safe out there
