Same to you.
So you want to wear checked pants and one of those tall white hats eh? I'm sure glad there's people who want to be chef's in this world cause I sure like to eat in restaurants!!! But I could NEVER be one....worked in em when I was young and knew right then I never wanted to work in em again!!!

Hope you can get the chance to go back to school and do something that heats your kettle Rev....

50cpm? Last two weeks my fuel has averaged 37cpm, and that was running out west.

If he's only getting 5 mpg, his costs would be $0.50 per mile. He'd also have a very sucky truck.

After previously having a '03 500HP C15, I'm ecstatic with my current set up and almost 7mpg.

I don't know what the problem is, I have room to carry a Chef in my Pete, plus a elect skillet, a rocket grill, and the kitchen sink.

Yeah, trucks must be tight in my lane. There is only one measly load posted that I'm interested in and it pays $700 on 250 miles. I didn't think $2.80/mile was bad considering the state of things.
