Glad to be back

Hello to all,

It’s Monday morning, September 14th and I’m happy to say that I am returning to work. My body sure has taken a beating during the last several weeks. However, I feel much better and am ready to get back to a normal routine.

This morning, I am loading in Charlotte, NC and will take the shipment to Laredo, TX. My new goal is to push my fuel mileage to 8.5 mph for the round trip. Later in the week, I’ll let you know how I am progressing.  Until then… take care and be safe.

Henry

    Thanks Bob,
    It is good to be back. I do not know if 8.5 MPG will happen on this round because traffic has been rough so far. I will keep you posted on my progress. Right now I am at 8.1 MPG which is not bad but not my goal yet.

    Henry
