    Idle Aire to Reopen

    Ice? No room in my fridge for that, it is too small to hold it, and even if I did get it in the water would really mess up my truck. Man, no room for food either!! That won't work. How about putting stationary bikes connected to generators at all the truck stops to recharge our batteries. We all...

    Idle Aire to Reopen

    This has been tried before, you sometimes see the "remains" of it in truck stop parking lots. Maybe it will take hold this time, only if it can work without government subsidies.

    Good idea. Send it all over the world as well. This is a Nation where those who earn, get, those that do MORE, get MORE and DESERVE IT, those who don't, don't. If a person cannot live like that they are welcome to leave. There are many socialist meccas that they can leach off of else where.

    Obama gives GOP a well deserved spanking!

    Thank you. The government is not capable of acting in a responsible manner. They have proven that year in and year out. It is up to us to boot them out, take back our rightful control over them, and set things back the way they were intended to be. If we don't do this, we are going to be ruled...

    Yeah, but your goofy!! I mean after all, coming here legally, jumping through the hoops, earning your way through life, not DEMANDING RIGHTS that are not yours yet. How dumb. You are a CREDIT to the Country and welcome.

    Obama gives GOP a well deserved spanking!

    The ReBumLiCans did NOT put us in the ditch, the Dumb-O-Crats did not put us in and are NOT getting us out!! Both parties are guilty of this, they did it together for their own power and gain. Our president is a Chicago machine politician, a Dumb-O-Crat, and hardly honest. He fits right in with...

    Straight trucks only please :-)

    Just an example. On a recent reefer run, 1500lbs, no APU time at all, on one of our fuel loads we got 11.57 and the second fuel load, same run we got 10.6

    Straight trucks only please :-)

    Not too bad, try running slower, it may gain you another half to 3/4 per gallon. That would add quite a bit to your bottom line over the year. See if you can get a hold of Team Caffee as well. They do very well on their truck, they are the "mileage guru's" so to speak.

    Straight trucks only please :-)

    I don't know your truck etc, but we drive slower. Between 57-62MPH. 62 is the norm were legal. We cannot exceed 65 due to being speed limited. We have no problem making pick-up and deliveries on time at those speeds. We are normally early. The ONLY time we have been late, and that was only once...

    Straight trucks only please :-)

    9.5-10.5 depending on how many reefer loads and how heavy. Keep in mind that MPG figure does includes all reefer and APU fuel usage. I do not have a separate fuel tank for the reefer and APU. Does that help?

    Straight trucks only please :-)

    Freightliner M2 Business Class, model M112. MBE 4000 450HP, EatonFuller 10sp autoshift. 3:58 rear end. We average 10.5 on loads under 4000lbs. We get 10 or maybe a bit better in light reefer loads. The least we have got was around 8. It was a heavy load with strong head winds. The best we have...

    First off, I do not believe that all that are coming here today are coming to BREATHE FREE. Just as in the past, only more so today in my opinion, there are many coming here not to enjoy our freedoms but to destroy them. They do so in many ways. Some are here to kill, blow up or create terror...

    I am not clueless. A fund raising sonnet written in the late 1800's should have nothing to do with today's immigration policy. Things have drastically changed since that was written. Our national immigration policy should be based on the needs and realities of today, not yesterdays. It should...

    We are now in Barkeyville, PA. Sitting behind the Burger Kind in that dirt lot. Have a load in the morning that picks up near here and delivers in Philly. Then we have a load Monday picking up in NYC heading for Toronto. :D It is nice to be busy.

    Micromanaging owners

    Not all owners micro-manage, might be time to be looking for a new situation. There are as many good owners out there as there are good drivers. The reverse is just as true. If this owner does not fit your needs, move on. There are many good owners out there that would love a person that can...
