    (if your driving a freightliner)
    Will lightly resting a foot on the clutch pedal still increase the speed by mph allowing that 68 to go to 70? You dont need to depress the clutch. At one time Freightliners had this feature that raised the engine RPM when the foot touched the clutch pedal. Granted I would be very concerned if you have a clutch pedal in a automatic.
     
    Rocks Thanks this.

    Now parked at my company's yard in OKC.... did first delivery nearby here and will be doing the second in TN... and then, will do a drop and hook in TN and head to another place in KY for another drop and hook and then back to TN for another drop and hook and then back to KY for maybe live load? And then back to OKC... if I got everything right from DSP....:biggrin_1square10:

    Dropping down through Cali and around the corner to Vegas, Chain were required on some of the state highways I normally take. This is a light load so the extra 100 miles can be offset with less slowdown on the hills and no time burned to chain.

    @otterinthewater I noticed a bunch of trees down all along I5 in OR . Almost looks like a bunch of mini avalanches from a couple of weeks back. Somef trees (oaks?) on the flat were just split in half.

    You always bundle up and escape the cold. You can’t escape the heat.

    After that storm last week when I was trapped in Coburg I couldn’t believe all the downed trees. I figured it was wind and heavy snow.
