    The bigger question is why are you pre tripping the truck at 0320?

    Lots of trucks used to shoot flames out the stacks,
    Had one, but usually you were running 95+
    An old 88 Pete 3406B 425 Cat 15 double over.. I miss that old truck, it didn’t know a hill and I never found top speed.

    I passed three old smokers yesterday. Was taking them about 45 minutes to go through their 18 speeds.

    Today was a good day.

    A very, very good day.

    But there's no way I can keep that pace up all week.

    I would say last night was my first 500-mile night in over a year. A very long day, with all the yard work.

    I rarely see less than 500 or 600 miles per shift. If I dont put in 500+ I feel that I havent gotten anything done... Lol

    8.5 hours on the clock is usually my baseline on this run. I'll take it. Short nights when you want them, long nights when you want them.

    Had the same truck. It was a beauty. Purple & black with a 3408 Cat & 15 over. That truck could stroll.
