Those will be headed to Africa around mid-Feb.
I started a thread...... need a mod to make a sticky.
Booked for 0500 pick in Frankfort, IL. Yep another long D/H, Drop in McAllen, TX. No mileage Woody, just can't turn those numbers down. Fingers crossed.
My trip out of kenosha Wisconsin almost didn't happen.
Woke up at Walmart 23f, but apparently the 13f windchill was still too cold to start my van with one glow plug not working.
Great, wait for temp to go up? Call AAA? Go OOS?
Then I had an idea. I have a extension cord, why don't I plug my engine block heater into my inverter (which has 2 aux batteries) and see if I can warm it up. I waited 15 mins, and it started
Drove over to McDonald's to get my coffee, just got back in the van with my coffee when I got the load call. Talk about timing lol.
At least now I know I can do something other then just draining the battery on cold days. Also makes me think when at home, I don't need to keep it plugged in around the clock and save on electricity
Hoping to get some rest this weekend as I picked up a cold along the way

I remember the Russian with all the flies around his van. Ethiopians now?
Different strokes for different folks ...
I could easily turn down, and do, long loads to far off locations without 1 of 2 conditions being met:
1 - get the $ to DH out going in
2 - high degree of certainty of getting loaded out
Crossed fingers ... oh geez ...
After the numbers recently posted you may just be a glutton for punishment
Good morning gang.....things are melting abit, various roads closed due to drifting over, the winds are howling making driving tough...
Gray and gloomy here...... feels like winter returning......
I sure hope so. Ice fishing is calling.......
amazing how quick the numbers erode when including DH to rate....

example team runs 100,000 miles @ .85 a mile....considering industry average of 20% DH..that number is quickly reduced to .708 ALL miles
@ 25% DH its down at .68 ALL miles...AT .80 a mile then that reduces that .708 down to " TADA " the .65 the poster made.... DH is your enemy if you can not afford to absorb it....
The biggest factor now IMO is your CPM....IMO again anything over .30 and you are in trouble of working all the time and not being able to have a life...
You're also reducing the life of your vehicle by a lot.
Day 2 of cold. debating if I really want my morning coffee or not. That would require getting out of bed

by every factor of nickles .05 using the 100,000 example is another $5,000 in your pocket....YOU must reduce the CPM ...slowdown...that is one of the best ways to combat the assault of whats happening out there....and watch that DH...not every run is a good run...don't get a mileage woodie...Like going 2200 miles to the northwest only to take all your profit and end up DHing down 700-800 miles to LA....thats just dumb...I am sorry IMO
You may be right, we may be crazy! We had just agreed to a short one up to the Fastman's pond. Five min. latter phone fired up with new offer to McAllen. As a team we have bounced down to the border and back in 5 days, throw in a Mon. drop, bonus. This time of year does reduce the chance's of a quick turn around. So a little luck would be good.

Back home, feels weird not to have to put anything away, Mrs.Fast is a happy camper all the old stuff no longer taking up space. But I'm gonna miss that trailer when I have to move a car from shop to shop. Back in service after a shower and sleep.
