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...

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?

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.

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...

You would think, bet they don't think all that much though.

There is a GREAT need for immigration reform. There has been for a very long time. There are many reasons for it, not just the flood of illegals from Mexico or anywhere else for that matter. Securing the borders must come first. That is NOT going to happen. Those in charge are only looking...

I think it is just another "tax dodge" thing, nothing more. This new company will use up what federal/state/local dollars they can and then, after it dries up, close up. Then it will happen again. Our fuel tax dollars at work, or "carbon tax" dollars. Just another government boondoggle. Someone...

It seems to be that way all over the country these days, not just at truck stops. Just look at our cities. Same up in Canada.

Interesting. I would be willing to bet that they are going to have to scavenge parts from many locations to get those up and running. I have seen a lot of damaged equipment at IdleAire sites. It would also be interesting to know if this new group is getting tax incentives to re-open these sites...

What does a sonnet written by Emma Lazarus to help raise money to build the base for the Statue of Liberty have to do with U.S. immigration policy?

Space born systems are prone to interference from heavy rain or snow. Trees, more so when the leaves are out, can affect the signal as well.

That is correct. The higher the level of government providing the "care" the more likely the system will be corrupt and NOT provide the service in a reasonable way.

Good luck. If it were in my power I would see that it happens for you. I have learned my lesson. If it is less than 4 weeks before I have to be home I no longer take runs out there. Costs to much to get back.

Good luck!! It never works when I try it!! :(

I saw this posted by a friend on Facebook. I LIKE this!!! I do not like the path of Uncle Sam, I do not like it Sam I am. I do not like these dirty crooks, nor how they cook the books. I do not like when Congress steals, I do not like their secret deals. I do not like the Speaker Nan, I...

It is this man's JOB to insure that the Federal Laws of this Nation are enforced, even those that he does not like or agree with. Congress passes the laws, not him. It is his DUTY to enforce EVERY immigration law. He is NOT doing his job, he should be fired. States would not be forced into...

That is the sort of thing that I do all the time!! I more and more "senior moments" every day!!!! We might be here though if you make it over this way!! :D
