Came back yesterday from the AAPEX/SEMA show. Gigantic shows filling two convention centers-about 2 million sq/ft worth.
Bus ran perfectly (which is always a smiling affair). Cruised at 1900 @ 60mph. Got 7.68mpg pulling my car. This was one of those strange situations-on the way up, we had a tail wind since a storm was coming in. On the way home, we also had a tail wind since the storm had passed. What's the likelihood of that happening? Good Luck, TomC
Hi Tom, did you go up Cajon and Baker grades, tom, lvmci...
That was a quick trip Tom, thanks again for the names of those tire companies, appreciate it 👍
Yes went up both Cajon and Baker grade. In both instances, with pulling my car (34,750lbs), the slowest I got on either grade was 40mph-and that was just at their steepest part. Usually more in the 45-47mph range. Good Luck, TomC
That is one big car:)
Tom -
In an earlier post, you mentioned that you're retiring from LA Freightliner.
Have you got an approximate date when you're going to hand over your order pad to the next generation?
:D
About a month ago, I moved out of my office and another young buck has taken over. I left all my files behind for the new guy. I am just finishing out some of my orders. Have 5 more trucks on order I want to deliver, then done! Now can concentrate on finishing the truck conversion-hopefully "done" by next summer. Then off into the wild blue yonder! Good Luck, TomC
