Delivered in St Louis this morning which took a bit longer because they are a little slow so I will get an hour or so of detention pay. Picked up another load of doggie food in Bloomfield,Mo going to Newnan,Ga for as soon as I get there. Picked up in Bloomfield on Saturday, Sunday and now Wednesday which makes me start to think I may be dedicated to the place which I don't want because the dog food loads are heavy and kill my fuel mileage.

Will post my numbers again tonight or tomorrow and I am thinking it might be the last time I post the full numbers like I have been doing. I don't know for sure though.

My first full week is in the books. So far, so good. Have been running good so far.

**BigKid2** · 01.11.2012

So far since I started at ACT on 3/17/11 I have been paid on 100,022 miles and have taken home $59994.06 after .07 per mile is already deducted for my maintenance account. I have averaged 2326 miles and $1395.21 per week which includes weeks I have taken off for home time. I have paid $54522.11 for fuel which averages .545 per mile. This is for 43 weekly pay periods. So much for the blanket statements on this site that you can't make any money in a lease purchase plan and they are all nothing but scams.

When you get really bored, could you post the average weight of your loads?

Average is about 25,000. Yesterday I was pulling 45,000 while peanutbutr was pulling 2,300 lbs. Today I am picking up 24,000 while he is picking up 1,700 lbs. No wonder he gets over 9mpg they must like him more than me.
