I was also going to ask you, Guyjax...how the heck do you get a 3000 mile a week dedicated run?

I'd really like one of those!

:)

Dedicated Run:

A driver or carrier who transports cargo between regular, prescribed routes. Normally it means a driver will be dedicated to working for one particular customer like Walmart or Home Depot and they will only haul freight for that customer. You'll often hear drivers say something like, "I'm on the Walmart dedicated account."

HOS:

Hours Of Service

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.

I heard that automatic transmissions save the most fuel. They may cost more to maintain though, I will never buy a car without a stick shift, again.

Even though I get 7.43 mpg everywhere I go with loads ranging between 42000 and 45000 I just do my job and get the loads there on time.

Pretty nice mileage for not trying, Guyjax! :) The company I'm at gives 3 tier bonuses, and all for less mileage than that.

Yes its nice having a well tuned truck.
