Bruenger Co Lease

does it show hight and weight restricted roads? How's the week going over at A&A Exp??

 

Jealous!! That is a nice load man.. I'm here in Junction City Kansas headed to Indy tonight.. Running out of hours so plan on heading back to the house Friday for a few days off.. Been out three weeks so I guess a few days at home should be alright.. I guess I'll keep my eye out for you as I'm headed east and your coming west.. Safe driving!!!

 

Yes!! Finally made it home after about 3 weeks out on the road.. Has been a good time visiting the wife and kids.

This is last week I really pushed hard to chase the money, should be a good pay check next week.. Starting to figure some stuff out with the help of some fellow drivers. Again I cannot stress the amount of friendly drivers Bruegner has on the road.

Dispatch a different story, if I was the manager of this operation I would fire about 1/2 of the dispatches. I was given a load Friday to pick up and agreed to haul it. Knowing these guys I called back to get the information e-mailed to me and found out they had given my load away.. This makes the third time this has happened in the last few weeks..

My driver advocate "Jared" is awesome, he went over and help get a new load arranged.. He also apologize, it was not his fault and he did not have to, but he did.. Great Guy!!

Last week I put down about 2100 miles and brought home a little over $1300 to myself. The more important aspect is I made another weekly truck payment!! Only about 118 or so to go!! Hehe..

Miso far Bruegner seems to be a company that works for guys that will work hard to chase the money!! I finally turned down a load last week and with in an hour had a good paying load.. Lesson learned it's alright to say no to cheap freight. Hope you are all doing well!!

 

Good week so far, picked up a load in St. Joe, Mo and delivered it in Wichita.. From there was offered a load with 2 stops Billings / Spokane WA. Left Salina this morning with about 43,000 on my back and ran 704 miles to Casper WY.. Only 4 hours from my first drop tomorrow..

Really enjoying getting ting to see the country, forgot how pretty Wyoming is..

 

Well made it to Spokane Washington, went over the continental divide between Montana and Idaho. Absolutely beautiful country!! I did get very altitude sick!! Think I need to add about $100 fuel surcharge for going over that continental divide!! Lol!!

Have myself a pretty quick turnaround, need to run down to Burbank Washington going to pick up a load of wine and head down to the Dallas Texas area!! I should've known it was going be Texas because just last week I swore I'd never go back to that cheap state!! Lol!!

Everything is really been coming together a lot better lately really enjoying being out here with Bruenger Trucking on this reefer!!

Need to make some time here in the next two days probably going to get the truck serviced oil change feel filter changed.. God is good!!

 

Well grab that quick turnaround out of Washington, and took it down to deliver it here in Fort Worth.

Along the way I was able to stop in Albuquerque going to pay for my first p.m. on the truck. Everything worked out pretty good last week made a pretty good chunk of change so I had money to play with to put towards the truck after putting some in savings. Glad I did it I guess the rear differential on the truck the fluid was pretty nasty. Had them drain that out of put some synthetic in.

Hoping this turns out to be a money week, to me it seems like you have one average week and you have route one really strong week. When I say average I'm talking about you bring probably home somewhere between nine to $1400 after everything is paid off. On a good week so far it looks like you could bring home somewhere between $1800 - $2500.00 after everything is paid.

Of course I think if you continue to learn some of the important things he able to better plan ahead it also saving in cost.

The only thing that I think would make this absolutely a top company is if we had a electronic load board like Schneider trucking, but in the end I still make 4% more than a Schnider driver so I guess I can live with our dispatchers.. I'm learning which ones to call in which ones to avoid.

Well talking about calling dispatchers I guess it's time for me to try to make my fourth call of the morning to them see if I can get my loading it going.. Keep God around you and your Business and his angels will protect you and guide you!!
