I've got an '07 170" wb high roof and I can get over 20 mpg if I keep the speed under 70. I get over 70 the mpg suffers. I've had it 11 months and have 111k.

That is in the contract, but in my experience they've never been that picky about it, not as picky as some other carriers I've done loads for. I did a 1300 mile run for them a couple weeks ago and they never bugged me once. I think I called them every time I stopped for fuel.

It's a pain as a driver to get constant calls, but as a carrier and driver, I make a point of giving a customer a location update every couple hours on a short run or during fuel stops on a long run. It's about customer service. When it bothers me though is when someone wants an update not an...

I'm sitting on my couch right now. I haven't a day off at home in close to a month. I must confess that I'm not looking too hard for loads. If I spot something really good I might take it. Otherwise, I'm staying put until Monday.

Maybe they should have included the disclaimer that the filthy trucker was running in the northeast and couldn't find a truck stop with a decent shower.

I just got home today. I hope I'm stuck for a couple days.

I had the same impression last week when I was in Iowa and Wisconsin. The devastation was heartbreaking, but all I saw were people pitching in and helping everyone.

Last I heard they were discontinuing production because the whole product line proved to be a complete bust.

The only definite thing I've been able to figure out about God, besides His love for me, is that He is vastly more complicated than I will ever be able to figure out. Good fortune comes to some, suffering to others. Can I figure it out? No way. That doesn't mean I don't trust Him, just that...

I did the same thing. Well worth it.

And you know how it is trying to explain things to canucks. You have to speak really slow unless it has to do with hockey. :)

I've done quite a bit of UPS stuff, but all of it brokered from Panther. They have some decent runs occasionally.

No, I think most of it moves by truck, not plane.

That's the exit with this sign, which always makes me laugh when I'm through there. I snapped a photo of it last week.

Based in Punxsutawney?

I saw one today that made me laugh. Driver carries no cash...He's married.

It seems to me that one way to address the problem would be to have a uniform speed limit but enforce it strictly for all vehicles. I see a lot of cars flying down the highways at ridiculous speeds all the time and how many of them are getting tickets. Why not just have 65 mph for all vehicles...

Controlling the time spent on stops and the number of stops can go a long way toward having a better average speed over a long trip. I just finished a run from St. Paul to New York City and over one stretch the same truck passed me about six times. Who was driving faster? Who was averaging a...

Uras: Result of the election is ‘civil disobedience’ Maybe an appropriate name for a politician.

Exactly what constitutes rigorous exercise within six hours of your bedtime? I have probably been known to violate that when I'm home, especially if I've been gone for a while. ;)
