Ready to deliver

I had an easy trip down from Dalton, Georgia this morning to about 25 miles from the first drop I will make tomorrow morning. I remarked a few days ago how I was hauling a Con-Way trailer with a 15,000 lb load and got about 8.3 MPG. This load is also light, but it is in a CFI trailer and I got 7.8 MPG today over very similar terrain and obstacles (eg cities, construction) than before. I guess those nifty side skirts do help out quite a bit.

Traffic in Atlanta was very light... to be expected at around 4 AM! By the time I had made my way around to the south side of the city the other side of the highway was fairly congested coming towards the city.
