Our 1st trip is 773 miles and 1250 to the truck. That includes the fuel surge. Not bad.

This was a less than 5 mile DH to load and we are preplanned to load out of the baltimore ports friday.

$1.61 a mile is pretty good! Is that a percentage lease with them? What does that come out to, 70% or better?

I looked at Diamond's Web site, they look like a good outfit. Do they run all over or just the midwest?

Two things to consider, if you make payments above what is on the coupon book, write a seperate check with the notation apply to principle, and make sure your balance reduces accordingly. This will also lower your interest charges. Second where are the pictures of the HAPPY OWNERS standing next to of this fine lookin machine. Don't forget the inside shots too.

If you can get to Maryland,alot of the interstates are closed in PA right now,I am sitting in the middle of I-80 waiting for penndot to attempt to clear the road,they say it could be Friday afternoon before it is open.

I am in the middle of a 11+ mile backup on westbound I-80 east of I-81
