Hello to all,
This week has been pretty cloudy and rainy. On my run to Laredo, TX , the rain began to fall. The rain continued for three days straight with no sun in sight. This week, my load weighed 44,200lbs. I experienced heavy winds, traffic jams and lots of rain. With all of these effects, I still managed to pull off six miles per gallon. Normally that isn’t good fuel mileage for me, however this week it turned out better than expected. be safe…
Henry
