Our oldest daughter detests the taste of coffee and insists the taste stays in cups and travel mugs. She uses the Keurig at home to make tea and cider and says it tastes fine. That surprised me. I agree if you drink much coffee the Keurig would not be for you, for those of us that are a one...

I like my Keurig at home and added the travel size to the truck. Bob does not drink coffee and the one K-Cup is the perfect size for my travel mug. I like how fast the Keurig makes coffee compared to my Mr. Coffee. I also debated over the price of the K-Cups until I went in one day for a cup...

You are right! Some of our loads though could be ran a little faster an unload a day early and we will consider that into the equation when we start out. That is why I say this has been a learning experience as I now know what speeding up will cost us and we can make a better educated decision.

We are adjusting to the speed and are comfortable, if we had not been comfortable we would have slowed back down. One of the other consequences of this test has been sleeping as we adjust our speed more often then we were. Probably one of the hardest things was to adjust for two lane and...

Bob and I both struggle to reach 65 mph and we are fine once we get to 65 mph. I have to concentrate to get the truck going that fast as I start unconsciously letting off the throttle when I get to 55 mph. Starting next week we will drop the MPH down to 63 and see how the DD13 performs with...
