Short 200 miles today going through three states, VIrginia, North Carolina, and now in South Carolina at the Freightliner service and training center. We need to get a recall done on some light switch they found to be a problem. Freightliner is the chassis the Bus is built on. They are owned by Damiler so many of our components are German. We are parked tonight in their parking lot that has electric hookups for RVs getting service. It has been raining hard for the past few hours but was beautiful for our ride today. During that ride I thought about just how fast everyone goes these days. The speed limit is 70 miles per hour, but that means they will do 75+. That is crazy. I set the cruise at 60 and feel that is plenty of speed. Years ago during the oil shortage and gas pump lines President Carter put the limit to 55 to save fuel. Today with wars being fought over oil we should bring that back. The amount of oil saved would be unreal. Just makes sense.
Well have to get up early to get the bus in the shop so goodnight. David
