                      Interesting stats actually if you analyze all the info over loads...


                      Most profitable are those between 35 and 70 km.

                      Hauling west burns 7% less fuel than east.


                      Empty run time 35%

                      Hauling canola from here to Altona mb reloading with canola in portage and taking it to yorkton then reloading in churchbridge and taking that to Cargil Clavet... That's screwy LOL.

                          Why's there a difference hauling east vs west??
                          Here the only elevator is east otherwise a couple of feedlots to the west unless you jump the big rock pile and send feed to chilliwack😉

                              Elevation chnage(uphill going west, downhill going east), and prevailing wind. I notice the same thing, even in a car, but our elevation change is much steeper than it is further east.

                                  Noticed for years, in AB going down grades increases mileage MORE than going up grades decreases mileage...LUCKY AB! Net is overage better. Another reason is AB highways are THICKER/HARDER than in SK and MB.

                                      Here is all hills so even with 500 ponies on a super you don't get to use cruise loaded and mileage sucks both ways. Although the tri drive bale truck with a freshly rebuilt 475 cummins cruise is handy.

                                      I will dispute the claim of AB roads being better/harder as our highway has "pig troughs" in it and when it starts raining at least the road looks smooth again...... till you drive in them😏
