    Cummins is at 6.37, according to mileage/fuel receipts.
    Truck won’t show gallons used, not as top shelf as a Freightliner..
    Does show this...

    so we has a cummins, officially..
    (Tape just dims out that big blue high beam indicator that’ll light the cab up)

    Casper is the same. It shows fuel used though. I like the Cummins instrumentation better.

    Be nice if this one showed fuel used, I just reset trip meter, I know I can do 1000 on it no sweat, so without a fuel gauge, I’ll just top off from mileage.

    Yeah, women are becoming dominant and controlling.
    Why just yesterday there was a recent poll that showed
    women controlling over 79% of the available money supply
    and actually already control 100% of sex availability.
     
    Opus, dwells40, Rideandrepair and 6 others Thank this.

    Couple of times I ventured into the one here in Tupelo I thought the clientele
    was enroute to or had just escaped from. I am bad to "rate" (not Judge) by
    appearances and all were in the l o w numbers.

    Times that will happen is "typically" when the trainee has finished their hours. But the truck's load isn't heading back to DFW. Other times it could happen if they screwed up bad and they want them back at the yard ASAP. My first trainer I actually flew out to meet in IN. So in that instance he was waiting on me for a few. I'm guess that TS was in the general area of an airport. He had to wait on the cab to get him there. They will give them the money for that. Using EFS Checks. That is how I paid for my luggage and cab when I flew.

    Oh and Opus...extra points for getting Dave to say seamen. lol

    Which Lexington, and the trainee "went" quietly? Don't sound quite fair.

    Hey, at least it's moist and not dried out like a normal truck stop pizza.
