    I never understood the mentality of a company that would rather let their trucks sit for two or three days instead of eating the extra $100 in fuel.

    Penny wise and dollar foolish. Don't forget missed appt. times, possible damage to the unit, driver sanity, apparently not an issue.

    Depending on the weather. You dont want to get caught up on 70 if the weather sucks. Good weather, go 70. Its actually a pretty ride. 40 is longer, but you also have to deal with Flag if the weather sucks.
     
    tscottme Thanks this.
