TOTAL MILES TO BREAKEVEN 45,945 (total miles to run to breakeven based on expenses to show a profit)

My Maint most of it was my own doing wanted the truck in good shape to run the lease. This year my goal is Batteries, Brake drums (these have been turned already) Universal joints ,Brake chambers, Clutch be nice also,

My experience here at ACT has been good . They dont ask for much just do your job. Its your business to run your business,but at the sametime your a business partner with ACT So represent well you be ok.

I gotta run smarter myself i had some excessive miles that cost me profit in the form of fuel that's why my miles to breakeven is so high So im gonna work harder at that. So lookin forward to another year . I made it my 1st year i can make it to the 2nd .

To the new drivers dont get discouraged hang in there. Keep some cash back not every week is gonna be profitable . You plan on it you can recover easier . Dont get pocket rich.

I only went in the Hole Twice i believe but that was planned on my behalf took some time off . Once for a week off came back to work they ran me some light loads helped me recover easier. Another time 11days off I banked some miles before time off ,ended up less than 100 bucks in the Hole . I can live with that.

Any Questions shoot me a msg. do the best i can to help.

 

Dont have enough post so ill post this

they said i have to wait 30sec before i could post so i waited to post this.
