Hmmm South Dakota isn't that big is it? Plus there is no traffic, why didn't you make it home:rolleyes:;) BTW I am home

As a straight who rarely gets a trip back home, I am nearly begging for any load getting me closer to home, I'd be more than happy to run a van load to pay my fuel cost remember I get around 8 to 9 mpg:eek:

You have a good point there. Fixed cost is important!!!! Every day I sit is another Motel room charge when I am OTR Also most of our business is M-F so I run my fixed costs on a 5 day work week. It makes the number scary and higher but is what is realistic.

We had a problem here a few years back. All the school buses were using BioDiesel and one extremely could moring the whole fleet of 400 plus buses wouldn't start. I know must places put a 10% blend in the diesel, and it is not very winter friendly Last company I worked for left all six of...

In my personal car I use Marathon gas which has STP added in it. I am not brand loyal, the station just happens to be around the corner from my house. I used to use Chevron or 76 exclusively in California Chevron had the techroline<--spelling I have and have had in the past VW Beetles...

My Mom was along for the ride the other day. She brought her Minature Schnauzer Pepper with her. I had a delivery at the Walmart Dist center. Out of curiosity after this thread I asked about their dog policy. Dogs are allowed in trucks but not in the OTR drivers breakroom The lady stated in...
